Reds Score Late, Stun Cubs, 8-6
Cincinnati Reds starter Joey Hamilton pitched a strong game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, leading the Reds to a 8-6 win. The Reds keep rolling, raising their record to 5-2.

The result might have been different for Cincinnati, had it not been for Javy Lopez. The catcher produced a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Reds ahead, 8-6. For the game, Lopez had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Lopez.
