The Cubs seemed on their way to losing another game to Cincinnati this afternoon at Wrigley Field, but Carlos Pena tied the game with a home run off Reds closer Francisco Cordero in the ninth inning and Kosuke Fukudome tagged the loss onto Cordero with a walk-off single to win it for the Cubs. Starter Casey Coleman pitched well for the north siders, giving up six runs over six innings and striking out six. Marcos Mateo gets the "W" for his 1-1/3 innings of relief.
