Late Heroics Net Cubs 5-4 Win
The Chicago Cubs took Steven Matz's best shot and still were able to collect a win at Wrigley Field. The final score had Chicago getting past the Reds, 5-4, in 10 innings. Matz over 6 innings allowed 1 run on 5 hits, while striking out 6. Aaron Barrett, credited with the win in relief, is now 5-1. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1 innings. The setback makes Cincinnati 26-32.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Chicago first baseman Ben Collins, facing Anthony DeSclafani, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Cubs the 5-4 win.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Cincinnati manager Julio Vinas.
