Cincinnati Downs Chicago, 3-2
Cincinnati beat Chicago on the strength of starting pitcher Michael Watson's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 3-2. The winner in relief was Mark Langseth. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. He now owns a record of 6-5. Corey Comer closed out the game, earning his 27th save.

The Cubs had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Reds going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old center fielder Gary Arbogast came to the plate. Arbogast hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Chicago hurler Jérémy Dumont. It was Arbogast's 36th double of the year.

"Every time I step on the mound, I want to go out there and compete and bring my best game," said Watson.

The setback makes Chicago 62-53.
