"It feels great," Bruce said. "I don't want to discount or take anything away from what Cueto and the other pitchers did today, but it was good to help the team win a game."
His first home run came on an 0-1 pitch from Odrisamer Despaigne that Bruce sent well into the seats in right field, snapping a streak of 55 at-bats without a home run.
His second home run again went out to right field. Joey Votto led off the sixth inning with a single off Despaigne, and Todd Frazier followed with a double to put runners on second and third.
