CINCINNATI — Eugenio Suarez and Adam Duvall hit three-run homers in the sixth inning as the Cincinnati Reds finally broke through against the Cubs' dominant pitching, beating the Cubs, 13-5, on Saturday night.
A victory would have given the Cubs (13-5) their best start since 1907, the year they won the first of their back-to-back World Series titles. A four-homer splurge ended the Cubs' domination of its NL Central rival.
This series opened with Jake Arrieta's second career no-hitter in a 16-0 win Thursday night. Jon Lester kept it going, throttling the Reds in an 8-1 victory the following night.
