Cubs Stumble, Lose to Reds
The Cincinnati Reds relied on the hitting of first baseman Todd Helton to stop the Chicago Cubs, 8-3. For the game, Helton went 2 for 3 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Cincinnati, at 70-89, holds down 5th place in the NL Central Division.

Helton had a big at-bat with the bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, when he hit a grand slam home run. The Reds went on to win.

"Glad to get this win," said Helton. "But we need to keep playing at a high level."
