Cubs Win 4th Straight, Take Down Reds, 5-4
The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Wrigley Field, dropping the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4. Jim Willis, who finished 3rd in the NL in innings pitched with 207.1 in 2030, was the difference-maker. The second-place Cubs are now 96-61, the Reds 79-78.

Ben Ralph dealt the Reds a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with runners on 1st and 2nd and Chicago leading 4-2, Ralph hit a 2-0 cutter for a run-scoring single.

"I just kind of blacked out and executed my pitches," said Willis.
