Cincinnati Reds starter Bucky Walters struggled against the Chicago Cubs, blowing a 4-0 lead en route to a 10-5 Chicago victory. Frank McCormick continued his hot streak for Cincy, driving in 2 runs for the Reds with a 1st inning single and adding another RBI in the 3rd. McCormick is hitting .522 with 10 RBI so far in the tournament. The Reds loaded the bases with no out in the 4th against Bill Lee, but a Lee Gamble Sac Fly was all they would show for it. In the bottom of the inning, Walters walked the bases loaded before Freddie Lindstrom cleared the bases with a triple. Lindstrom later scored thanks to Lonny Frey’s misplay of an easy grounder that tied the game. Billy Herman broke the tie in the 6th with a 3-run homer over the ivy in left. Billy Myers’ error in the 8th opened the door for 3 unearned runs for Chicago off reliever Johnny Vander Meer. Overall, Walters walked 6 in 7 innings, allowing 6 earned runs. The Reds weren’t quite as efficient on offense. Lee allowed 12 hits in 7 innings for the Reds, who could only plate 5. Herman finished 3 for 4. The Reds hope to rebound in tomorrow’s game, while Chicago will try to put them on the brink of a trip to the loser’s bracket.
