A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs.

The Cincinnati Reds picked up a win at Wrigley Field, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 11-1. Starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft was an essential part of his team's success. In 7 innings, Ashcraft surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. He allowed no runs.

Cincinnati relied on the bat of Elly De La Cruz to get the win. The third baseman ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Reds ahead, 4-0. For the game, De La Cruz had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Reds manager Jimmy Reds had nothing but praise for his players after an impressive win, calling the result one of the team's best performances of the season. "Everything just came together on our end," he said. "I didn't need to do too much."

Cincinnati, at 64-88, holds down 11th place in the National Division.
