Chicago turned a fine outing from starter Red Ruffing into a victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field. The final score was 8-2. The Reds, at 17-29, have lost 4 in a row.

Chicago first baseman Johnny Ostrowski helped the Cubs go up, 4-2, in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Ostrowski hit a 2-run single off Cincinnati pitcher Bob Muncrief.

"It was a solid team effort," Ruffing said. "That's usually what it takes to win."
