Reds beat Cubs in series finale as Elly De La Cruz sustains injury

The Cincinnati Reds completed a series win against the Chicago Cubs with a 7-5 victory at Wrigley Field on Sunday, Aug. 30. Starting pitcher Chase Burns earned the win after pitching into the sixth inning, allowing two earned runs while striking out seven batters. The Cincinnati offense recorded four home runs in the game, setting a franchise record for the most games with four or more homers in a single season. Despite the victory, the team faces uncertainty regarding shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who left the game in the seventh inning due to left quad tightness. The Reds now return home to begin a 25-game stretch to finish their season. Medical evaluations for De La Cruz are pending to determine his availability for upcoming matchups.
