31

The first place Cubs mounted a late rally in Cincy on Friday night, but came up short. The Cards lost 14-2 at Cleveland, so the number drops and the North Siders maintain a three-game lead in the NL Central.

More bright spots:  J-Hey reached base in 3 of 5 plate appearances, drawing two walks and homering. Kyle Schwarber had a 2-for-4 night with a Schwarbomb, and Rizzo started the Cubs' offense with another solo shot.

The series continues with a twinbill at the Great American Ballpark on Saturday. 31 games down, 29 to go.

Go Cubs go!
