CINCINNATI -- For the first time after three games in 2018, the Reds didn't allow any runs in the top of the first inning. Better still, Cincinnati took its first lead of the season, too. It certainly wasn't a big lead, but it proved to be just enough.
Behind rookie Tyler Mahle's six sensational innings, the Reds hung on for a 1-0 win over the Cubs at Great American Ball Park. The deciding run crossed against Chicago starter Tyler Chatwood in the fourth inning. when Eugenio Suarez came home on an Adam Duvall groundout.
