Friedl went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.
Friedl, batting sixth in the order, put the Reds on top early with a two-out, two-run single in the first inning. He's knocked in five runs over the last two games. This marked the third time in four starts since returning from his latest injury that Friedl batted in the middle of the order. He's typically hit out of the leadoff spot for the Reds, but manager David Bell is going with Jonathan India there for now.
