Hopper Helps Chicago Cruise to 11-3 Win
The Chicago Cubs trumped the Cincinnati Reds, 11-3, at Great American Ball Park. Chicago center fielder Dave Hopper was terrific. He was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Tyler Matzek, who led the NL in wins with 17 in 2016, was the winner. He's now 4-6. The loser was Dave Parsons. With this game in the books, Chicago is 71-85, Cincinnati 73-82.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Ron Hicks to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Hicks said. "We did a good job of that today."
