Cubs Get Clutch Win Versus Cincinnati
The Chicago Cubs handed the Cincinnati Reds a 6-5 defeat at Wrigley Field. Catcher Henry Blanco starred for Chicago. He went 1 for 1 with a double, while adding 3 RBI. Hong-Chih Kuo recorded the save, his 3rd. The Reds drop to 4-8, as their stumbling start to the 2004 season continues.

Blanco had a game-changing double in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 fastball from Rheal Cormier, he banged a bases-clearing double to right-center, giving the Cubs a 6-5 lead. It was the 2nd double of the year for Blanco.

"Fun game," said Blanco, "even when the outcome was in doubt."
