Cubs Down Reds, 6-2
The Cincinnati Reds went down to defeat to Bernie Sanders and his Chicago teammates. The final score was 6-2, in favor of the Cubs. Sanders yielded 1 run over 5 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 3, and struck out 7. His record improves to 18-6. Chicago occupies third place in the National League Central at 90-71.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Bálint Kovács to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Kovács.
