Late Rally by Reds Locks Up 6-3 Win
2009 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago got a decent performance from pitcher Ryan Dempster, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati won the Wrigley Field contest, 6-3. Dempster threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Cory Rasmus picked up the save for Cincinnati, his 19th of the year.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of Andrew Moffitt to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Reds on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Moffitt said.

At 47-94, Cincinnati is in last place in the NL Central Division.
