Lilly excels in win
Lilly stikes out nine
Mark DeRosa gave the Cubs a cushion with a two-run single in the seventh..

CINCINNATI -- Ted Lilly made a good first impression on the Cubs.
In his first start, Lilly struck out nine and gave up three hits over seven innings to help the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 Wednesday night and give new manager Lou Piniella his first win with the team.
"It's a lot of time in between wins, I can tell you that," said Piniella, back in the dugout after taking one year off. "I really enjoy winning. It feels good, it really does. We played a good ballgame, and we pitched very well. That's the key."
