Reds 4, Cubs 3
Sean Marshall walked two and struck out three Reds on Sunday. (David Kohl/AP)
The Cubs' offense was stifled by Aaron Harang's gem until the seventh -- when two hit batters came around to score on an RBI double by Ronny Cedeno and a sac fly from Mike Fontenot. However, those runs and Sean Marshall's gem weren't enough, as Kerry Wood allowed three runs in the ninth for a blown save and Cubs loss.
