CHICAGO CUBS WIN!

The Budweiser Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge is a competition between two National League Central Clubs: the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs. The winner of the Budweiser Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge is the Club with the most total points at the end of the 2016 regular season.

Rivalry games are those games when the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs host each other.

At these games, special promotions are in place to encourage fans to pledge to be Budweiser Good Sport designated drivers for their friends and family that day. Designated drivers help their favorite Club earn points in the Budweiser Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge.
