The Curse of Wrigley Field

Cubs 3, Reds 1  (36-21)

Ed Reulbach pitched the Cubs to a win in the first game of their doubleheader with the Reds.  He gave up just one run on seven hits and one walk.

Jimmy Sheckard had the big hit with a solo homer to lead off the seventh inning.  This hit tied things up and then the Cubs rallied for two runs in the eighth inning to win it.  Joe Tinker finished with two singles and one of them drove in the go ahead run in that eighth inning.
