WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Walker Cooper blocked the plate, saving a run!
Paul Minner went the distance as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati
Redlegs by the score of 3 to 2 at Crosley Field.
Chicago had 2 runs cross the plate in the 2nd inning when they had 3 base
hits. They would be enough to earn the win. Both teams ended up with 8 on
the afternoon.
Minner(9-7) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Art Fowler(13-4)
was the losing pitcher. The win by Chicago was very good news as they had
been 2-8 of late. Now their seasonal record improves to 62-62. With the
loss, Cincinnati has a record of 7-3 lately, 71-50 overall.
