Chicago Cubs (28-20) 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 6 0

Cubs Score Late, Upend Reds, 2-1
Chicago beat Cincinnati in a rain-soaked ballgame.

In a low-scoring tilt between the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds, Scott Garrelts was the difference-maker. The Chicago right-hander earned player of the game honors in the 2-1 win. The Cubs, now 28-20, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Vinny Castilla, the 29-year old third baseman . Castilla contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put Chicago up, 2-1.

"Scott is tough when he's hitting his spots," said Chicago manager Anthony Perez.
