Cubs Shut Out Reds, 3-0
Chicago left-hander Jon Lester pitched his team to victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. The final score was 3-0. The winning pitcher was Lester, now 5-5. He tossed 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 7. Craig Kimbrel recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 15 for 18.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Javier Baez, the slugging shortstop . Baez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put Chicago up, 3-0.

"I take a professional approach to my job," said Lester. "I've been around this game for a while."

With the win, Chicago upped its record to 40-39.
