 Since 2018, the Reds have gone 8-4 in home games against the Cubs -- the Reds bullpen has posted a 1.96 ERA over these games (Cubs bullpen has a 5.55 ERA in these games) and have hit .300 with runners in scoring position (Cubs have hit .191 with RISP in these games).

 The Reds and their opponents have combined for 2.59 home runs per game in games played at Great American Ball Park this season, ninth most among MLB stadiums. In each of the last three seasons, Great American Ball Park had ranked first for most combined home runs per game.

 The Cubs have played 81 games, half their season, and have 126 home runs, 15 more than the franchise record to this point in the season -- in both 1999 and 2000, the Cubs had 111 home runs at the season's midpoint.

 Since 2015, Joey Votto has slashed .357/.462/.608 against the Chicago Cubs. Only one player has a higher OPS than Votto (1.070) against any opponent over this span (min. 300 PA) -- Mike Trout, who has a 1.212 OPS against the Mariners and a 1.139 OPS against the Rangers.

 Willson Contreras' 10-game hitting streak ties his career-high, set earlier this season. He has 20 hits and five home runs in June, his third straight month meeting these marks. All other MLB catchers have combined for four such months in 2019.

 Cole Hamels has a career 1.77 ERA against the Cincinnati Reds (regular and postseason). The only active pitchers with lower career marks against any opponents (min. 15 starts) are Adam Wainwright (1.48 vs. Astros) and Clayton Kershaw (1.68 vs. Giants).

The Chicago Cubs hope the momentum of their latest spirited victory will travel well as they begin a nine-game road trip with a series opener against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
The Cubs overcame a five-run deficit to post a 9-7 win over Atlanta on Thursday afternoon, capped by Craig Kimbrel securing his first save since finalizing a three-year, $43 million contract.

Kimbrel, Cubs kick off nine-game trip at Cincinnati

CINCINNATI (AP)  Joe Maddon looked up from his sheet of statistics and saw left-hander Cole Hamels walking toward him instead of warming up for the second inning - the last thing the Cubs manager wanted to see.
''I'm looking up off my paper and all of a sudden he's walking toward me, so I had no idea what was going on,'' Maddon said.
