The Cubs have been playing great baseball of late, but their kryptonite in 2018 has been the Cincinnati Reds. Friday was no different, with the Reds pulling out a close-fought game.
Mike Montgomery held Cincinnati off the board early despite not having his best stuff. Tyler Mahle was very good, matching Monty zero for zero. The Reds pulled ahead in the 4th inning, when a single, a walk, and a hit batter loaded the bases with none out. Adam Duvall singled to knock in the first run and a second run scored on a Scott Schebler double play.
