The Aporia
In a Friday night game, Jose Trevino's decisive two-run single in the seventh inning helped the Cincinnati Reds come back and defeat the Chicago Cubs with a final score of 6-4. The Reds had been losing three out of four games to the Los Angeles Dodgers before this match. Michael Conforto led the Cubs' offense with three hits, but they couldn't hold their lead despite Seiya Suzuki's two-run single in the fourth inning that put them up 4-3. Despite having the tying run at bat in the ninth, the Cubs were unable to secure a win when Michael Busch was caught stealing second base on a designed pitchout. The Chicago Cubs still need to accumulate four more wins or see their opponents lose enough games to clinch a playoff spot.
