After a 4th inning fracas that seemed to light a fire under the Cubs and spur a would-be game-winning rally, Craig Kimbrel imploded again in the bottom of the 7th to give the Reds a 6-5 victory and split of the day’s doubleheader.
Ian Happ led off the second game of the twin bill with a home run to right that just barely sneaked out of the yard to stake the Cubs to a 1-0 lead right away. Unfortunately, Alec Mills got hit pretty hard in this one, lasting only three innings and giving up four runs.
