Reds come up empty with runners on in a 1-0 loss to the Cubs

A strong debut by Vladimir Gutierrez went to waste as the Chicago Cubs shutout the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 in the first game of their 3-game series on a windy day at Wrigley Field.

The Offense

Cincinnati threatened early as Nick Castellanos singled and moved to third base on a Tyler Stephenson 2-out double in the top of the 1st, but both runners were stranded.
