Reds don't score in the top of the first.

Ortega reaches on an E-3 and The Tank singles to left. 

An early lead against Gray would be nice.

Not a lot to complain about with Steele in the first 5 innings.  No runs, three hits, one walk and four strike outs.  Generally right around the plate all day.

Steele with a terrible sixth.  Loaded the bases and then hit a batter to drive in a run.  Taken out of the game.

He was hit a glancing blow on the pitching shoulder with a ball hit 107 MBH in the 4th, but it didn't seem to bother him in the 5th.

After a wijd pitch by Heuer, the Cubs are still ahead 3 - 2.

Maybe seeing Schwindel’s defensive deficiencies on consecutive plays in 7th inning.

I like Schwindel's power, but am also impressed by his ability (and willingness) to hit the ball to the opposite field when appropriate.  His single to right with a man on second brought in the winning run in the eigth.

Thanks again to Jeff for the tickets to today's game. Pretty much perfect weather and a fun game to watch. I was interested in getting to see the new guys in person.  I had already decided I would like to see Steele pitch, so was pleased when I discovered he was starting today. I thought Steele was very good for the first five innings, economical with his pitches and mixing them up.  As noted, not so much the 6th.  Other than the wild pitch (which Contreras seemed to argue was a foul), Heur looked good too, and can't complain about Effross or Morgan's performances either.  Schwindel with two more key hits, including the game winner.  Ho hum.

UP NEXT

Reds left-hander Wade Miley (11-5, 2.97 ERA) starts Tuesday night. Miley allowed five runs and 12 hits in four innings in a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals on Sept. 1. Right-hander Adrian Sampson (0-1, 1.59 ERA) pitches for the Cubs.

The terrific AB by Rivas to open the 8th should not be overlooked.

Another key play was Happ cutting off the game-tying single.  Really good play saved a run.

Yeah, although I did not see what sort of jump he got initially, at the time I was impressed by how he cut the ball off.  I was pleasantly surprised. Earlier in the game Catellanos was not able to get to a ball before it got to him - I think it was Heyward's triple.

Happ is getting closer (.710) to NL average OPS (.722).
