Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Reds used a four-run eighth inning to beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-4, in the middle installment of a three- game series.
Shin-Soo Choo hit a solo homer for the Reds, who have won the first two games of this set to record their first road series victory of the year. Zack Cozart, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, Jack Hannahan and Devin Mesoraco added an RBI apiece.
Cincinnati starter Tony Cingrani gave up four runs on three hits while striking out five over six innings for Cincinnati, which has won eight straight at Wrigley Field. Logan Ondrusek (2-0) tossed a scoreless seventh to pick up the win.
Alfonso Soriano hit a pair of two-run homers for the Cubs, who have dropped three in a row.
Jeff Samardzija allowed two runs -- one earned -- on four hits over while striking out five over six innings. Carlos Marmol (2-2) was charged with three runs while failing to record an out in the eighth.
"The definition of a good lineup is that they make you throw a lot of pitches. They're grind you down, foul balls off, especially your out pitches," Samardzija said.
Holding a 4-2 lead, the Cubs brought in Marmol to start the eighth. Cozart and Joey Votto walked before Brandon Phillips was hit by a pitch to load the bases with no outs. Hector Rondon then took over for Marmol.
Bruce greeted Rondon with an RBI single to left-center field and Frazier followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game. Xavier Paul was intentionally walked to fill the bags again. Pinch-hitter Hannahan worked a walk to force in the go-ahead run and Mesoraco's pinch-hit sac fly made it a 6-4 game.
"We manufactured runs (in the eighth)," Cozart said.
Jonathan Broxton and Aroldis Chapman each tossed a scoreless inning of relief to secure the victory. Chapman picked up his seventh save of the season.
Choo hit the first pitch of the game over the wall in left.
Soriano responded with a homer of his own in the bottom half of the first. With two outs, Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch and Soriano then cleared the wall in left to make it 2-1 Cubs.
Cincinnati scored a run in the third to tie the game. Choo walked, moved to second on Samardzija's throwing error and scored on Cozart's single to center.
Chicago took the lead back in the bottom half. Rizzo hit a two-out double and scored on Soriano's blast to left.
The Reds went 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight ...
Votto had two of Cincinnati's six hits ... Marmol's appearance in the eighth
was his 453rd relief appearance with the Cubs, snapping a tie with Lee Smith
for the franchise record.
Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette said Friday he is walking away from football to enter medical school.
Qualifying for NASCAR national touring series races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway will no longer feature a pack of cars running together.
The Atlanta Falcons were fined $350,000 and will have to forfeit a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft for using artificial crowd noise during home games for the last two seasons.
The New York Mets acquired left- handed pitcher Alex Torres from the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor league right-hander Cory Mazzoni and a player to be named later on Monday.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.
Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk, Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Cam Atkinson and Colorado Avalanche center Ryan O'Reilly were selected as the NHL's top players for the week ending March 29.

Make simple stained-glass Christmas ornaments by using cookie cutters as a template and spreading glue onto colored plastic wrap that serves as the stained glass once it dries. This craft takes about 30 minutes to make and 44 hours for the materials to dry. You need cookie cutters, black crafting foam, washable markers, black paint, white craft glue, scissors, tape, a baking sheet, plastic wrap and black wire.Know More
Lay the cookie cutter on the sheet of black foam. Trace around the cookie cutter, and remove it from the foam. Draw an identical shape 1/4 inch inside of the shape you just traced. Cut along both lines so that you have a thin frame for the ornament.
Tape a layer of plastic wrap on top of a baking sheet so that there are no wrinkles in the plastic wrap. Use the washable markers to color the plastic wrap. Paint one side of the foam frames with the black paint, and place the frames paint side down on the plastic wrap. Press down firmly. Fill the inside of the foam frame with white craft glue.
Cut the thin wire into 4-inch lengths. Bend each piece into a loop. Place the wire ends between the plastic wrap and the foam frame.
Allow the ornament to dry for at least 36 hours. At this point the glue should have absorbed the marker colors. Gently remove the ornament from the plastic wrap, and turn it over. Allow the ornament to dry for another 8 hours.

If your new theater company doesn't have the budget for fairy wings and fauna, you can always fall back on Shakespeare's language, a delicate thing equal parts poetic and crude, romantic and revelatory. Alas, both fauna and faith to the Bard fall flat in this production from the fledgling Lightninghead. Cofounder Scott McKinsey, who also directs, has a history of pulling off promenade-style productions, but this one's decidedly static. It's partly the space: the vaulted walls of Winnetka Chapel make an intimate staging tricky. But they're not at fault for blocking the actors, who are continually trapped in a boring triangle in the middle of the room. Those same actors brutally ad lib over the lines of the play, which end up sounding like so much gargled mouthwash spit down the sink, save for Janet Magnuson's Peter Quince, whose speech is as crisp as her intentions are clear.—Chloe Riley $20http://lightninghead.com
John Patrick Shanley brings us another play stocked with witty misfits and eloquent losers. The action is set in rural Ireland, but the issues—love, life, fear, loneliness, death—remain the same as those he explores in better-known New York-based works like Doubt (2004) and Moonstruck (1987). Age seems to have mellowed him and deepened his latest play, just off Broadway, a moving comedy-romance whose last 15 minutes are sublime. For this Northlight production director BJ Jones has enlisted A-list performers who know how to bring the best out of the script; Kate Fry in particular shines as that trademark Shanley character, the strong but scarred woman emotionally entangled with a weak, distant man who's afraid to grow up, here ably played by Mark Montgomery. —Jack Helbig $25-$78
In this Writers Theater production, based on Wendy Kesselman's 1997 adaptation of the 1955 stage play, director Kimberly Senior lays a firm groundwork but ultimately misses the mark. We start promisingly enough, with a set replicating the secret annex where eight people searched in vain for normalcy amid the depredations of the Nazi era. As Anne, Sophie Thatcher has mastered the art of flitting about, but she can't enliven the show's wooden diary passages, which quickly begin to feel like the device they are, diffusing the play's mounting tension. And while I'd argue there's a certain solemnity involved in portraying Anne's father, Otto Frank, a man weighed down by sacrifice, Sean Fortunato treats the part with unsettling frivolity and casualness. Ultimately, the play itself is limited by the 1950s optimism that colors Anne's complex wartime reflections. A production can only work with what it's got. —Chloe Riley $35-$70
With hosts Chris and Kirill.

As the House and Senate continue to battle over a budget compromise, the impact of a potential government shutdown on Washington state would be varied.
As the House and Senate continue to battle over a budget compromise, the impact of a potential government shutdown on Washington state would be varied.
Here's a look at how services in the state would or would not be affected if Congress fails to reach an agreement by midnight Monday.
In spite of the fact that funding of the health care law is at the center of the budget battle in Congress, implementation of key parts of the law begin Tuesday regardless of whether there is a shutdown or not. The Democratic-led Senate on Monday rejected conditions House Republicans had added to a temporary spending bill, and stripped a one-year delay in President Barack Obama's health care law from the bill.

All national parks would be closed, as well as national monuments like Mount St. Helens, and Forest Service ranger stations would be closed. Visitors using overnight campgrounds or other park facilities would be given 48 hours to make alternate arrangements and leave the park.
The Employment Security Department said that it will continue paying unemployment benefits through this week, but said that it is uncertain whether officials would be able to maintain that if a federal shutdown lasted until next week.
Fulltime active guardsman will not be furloughed, but roughly 1,000 federal technicians, including vehicle and aircraft maintenance, computer technicians and human resources personnel would be furloughed starting Wednesday, according to Karina Shagren, spokeswoman for the state Department of the Military.

How does graphics crowdsourcing work in the business world? | e27Clients won't be getting run-of-the-mill artwork either. CEO Yuya Kuratomi said to e27 that there's an in-house art director who oversees the project and provides quality control. The biggest challenge he and his company have to face is cultural differences. "Because we are a global company working with artists from all over the world, there can sometimes be cultural differences (which include language barriers and timezone issues).

In the map shown above — a map that appears in Airbnb's 2013 annual report — the trend is obvious: Most rentals are in cities that attract tourists. New Orleans is huge. Austin is significant.

SeedInvest Closes $4.15M Series A Round
The equity crowdfunding platform SeedInvest announced yesterday that it closed a $4.15 million Series A round.
The first $2 million came from several VC firms, including Scout Ventures, Great Oaks Venture Capital, Avenue A Ventures, Archer Gray, and Krillion Ventures. The rest came from 42 accredited investors through the crowdfunding platform's own raise. The average investment size on its platform came out to just over $51,000.
SeedInvest is the latest platform to prove out its concept by crowdfunding itself. Previously, we've seen companies like Wefunder and Crowdcube do the same, among others.

"We decided there was no better way to illustrate our conviction in our platform than by utilizing it ourselves," said Ryan Feit, CEO and co-founder of SeedInvest in a statement. "This was the perfect occasion to tap our rapidly growing investor base and provide them with the opportunity to join our journey."
SeedInvest claims it raised its $3 million target in a week, which is a bit misleading since it had secured the $2 million from VCs back in April. Still, it's an impressive step for the company that's taken an active role in promoting equity crowdfunding since the JOBS Act was signed into law back in April 2012.
In just the past three months, the company claims, it has helped firms raise over $6 million through its platform.
Though it eventually wants to open up to the unaccredited crowd, for now SeedInvest is limited only to accredited investors — that's the case for nearly all crowdfunding platforms operating at the moment. A select few, like Fundrise, register certain offerings with the SEC, allowing for the unaccredited to participate, too.
