The Cubs were trying for their first win streak in over a month when they took on the Reds at the Great American Ball Park Thursday night. It was a back-and-forth affair with several lead changes, but Cincinnati was able to pull away in the late innings and take the victory.
Chicago went ahead in the 3rd inning when Seiya Suzuki hit a long two-run homer into the second deck in left field off Hunter Greene. The Reds wasted no time answering back against Javier Assad in the bottom of the frame with a three-run laser from Elly De La Cruz that made it 3-2.
