The Cincinnati Reds lead the Chicago Cubs 6-4 in a game at Great American Ball Park on September 19 after a critical sixth inning. Clay Holmes' five walks were pivotal, allowing four to score, including two in the Reds' three-run rally. The Cubs initially took the lead with a two-run single from Seiya Suzuki in the fourth, but Holmes faltered, allowing the Reds to regain control. The Cubs managed to bring runners on base in the eighth but could not score, while their final opportunity in the ninth with Ian Happ at the plate came after a questionable decision to have a runner steal.
