The Cincinnati Reds broke their five game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night.  It was a close game the entire game with the teams battling back and forth.  The Reds held off a Cubs rally in the ninth inning when the Cubs had the bases loaded with only one out, but the Reds were able to hold them off to pick up the win.

Johnny Cueto pitched six innings to pick up his second win of the season.  Cueto was throwing gas as he struckout eight batters while walking two others.  Cueto did give up a solo home run to Geovany Soto, but that was pretty much his only mistake of the game.

Francisco Cordero pitched a shaky ninth inning to pick up his fifth save of the season.  Cordero tagged out Mike Fonenot who tried to score on a ball that got away and then got Derrek Lee to groundout to first base to secure the save.

Adam Dunn smashed a two run home run in the third inning when the Reds went up 5-1.  The Reds got on the scoreboard in the first inning with a bases loaded walk and then a two run single by Jeff Keppinger.

The Reds are now 13-20 on the season.
