Cubs Win, 5-1, at Cincinnati
Starting pitcher Jose Paulino did his part in helping the Chicago Cubs thwart the Cincinnati Reds, 5-1. The winner was Paulino. He threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Marcus Stroman. The win puts Chicago at 1-1.

Chicago first baseman Kris Bryant contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the eighth. With two down, he hit a cutter to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 3rd hit of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 5-1.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Paulino. "Successful pitchers do it."
