Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker made his return to Wrigley Field to play the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night, and the outcome was not what Baker was hoping for as the Cubs defeated the Reds 9-5. Baker was booed a little before the game, but he made a pitching change, those boos got a lot louder. Hmm, I wonder if a little alcohol in all those Cubs fans had something to do with that lol.
Aaron Harang did not have his best stuff as he gave up five earned runs on eight hits in six innings. Mark DeRosa and Derrek Lee both took Harang deep. Jared Burton, Jeremy Affeldt, and Todd Coffey all pitched .2 innings and gave up earned runs. Burton gave up two runs, while Affeldt and Coffey both gave up one one.
Ken Griffey Jr. had the biggest hit for the Cubs when he hit a two-run homer in the third inning. Griffey led the Reds with two RBI. Jeff Keppinger, Edwin Encarnacion, and Joey Votto all had one RBI in the game as well.
