The Cincinnati Reds won the first of a Twilight Doubleheader beating the Chicago Cubs 9-1. The nightcap and game 2 was far from a blowout as the North Siders rallied in the 9th versus that Red Stockings Pen backed by Captain Save-A-Game Aroldis Chapman dba Cuban Missile!

Do you wanna know how wild this game was both starting pitchers were gone by the 3rd frame. Cubs starter Dallas Beeler went two frames giving up five runs on six hits. Red Stockings starter Tony Cingrani dittoed Beeler's Performance through 2.2 Inning pitched. Give credit to both Pens from keeping a grown-man fast-pitch softball score from breaking out!

Then in the 9th with the score still knotted up at 5-5 and Cincy with the Big Boys (not the "Nasty Boys" Charlton, Rob Dibble, and Randy Myers) on the "Bump" Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs singled and the Dexter Fowler came barreling home only to be thrown out at the dish. Aroldis Chapman intentionally walked Jorge Soler and Taylor Teagarden hits an RBI single scoring Rizzo after he stole 3rd for a 6-5 lead heading into the bottom half of the 9th.

Cubs Captain Save-A-Game by committee Jason Motte grabs his 6th save as the North Sides move to 51-42. The Red Stockings fall to 42-51...
