Gallo gets 3 RBI, Reds Move to 79-49
With third baseman Joey Gallo leading the charge, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago Cubs, 8-6, at Wrigley Field. Gallo, who is tied for 3rd in the NL in home runs with 41, was 2-2 with a home run, a triple, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Ken Giles was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 30 of 32 save opportunities. The Reds have an impressive 79-49 record.

In the top of the 6th, pinch hitter Chad Pinder gave Cincinnati the lead when he hit a 3-run home run. The Reds had been trailing 3-2, but the two-out home run off Chicago pitcher David Phelps changed that -- and Cincinnati went on to win.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Pinder. "And not try to do too much."
