In the top of the 5th, after Adam Dunn’s homerun, Zambrano plunks Austin Kearns and is promptly ejected.
Down 6-3 in the bottom of the 5th, the Cubs explode for 5 behind Aramis Ramirez’ 2-run shot into Sheffield Avenue. Cubs lead 8-6.
Then Cincy scores 1 in the sixth and 3 in the 7th to take a 10-8 lead.
What’s interesting is that after his homerun yesterday, Neifi Perez was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat by Reds pitcher Eric Milton.
Update: It went down to the last out but the Reds held on to win 11-9.
