US EditionHow Cincinnati Reds Showed Chicago Cubs Who Won MLB Trade Deadline with Win at Wrigley
COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AUG 5 – A replay review overturned Cubs' tying run after Dansby Swanson missed first base, allowing Reds' T.J. Friedl to deliver the winning RBI single in a crucial NL Wild Card race game.
- On Monday night at Wrigley Field, the Cincinnati Reds secured a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs when TJ Friedl delivered a go-ahead RBI hit in the seventh inning.
- The Cubs suffered early setbacks as both starters, including newly acquired Michael Soroka, left with injuries, and a replay review overturned a safe call at first base on Dansby Swanson.
- Dansby Swanson powered a two-run homer in the third inning, marking his 17th of the season and contributing to the Cubs’ only additional runs, but the team managed just three hits altogether and could not overcome Cincinnati’s pitching.
- Zack Littell pitched seven innings with eight strikeouts for the Reds, who also received key hits from Tyler Stephenson and Elly De La Cruz, while Emilio Pagán earned his 24th save.
- The Reds evened the season series at 4-4 and believe their recent roster additions can help their playoff push despite uncertainty in the division race.
