The Cincinnati Reds went on the road for the first time this year, starting a three game series against the Chicago Cubs.

The Reds got off to a quick start against the Cubs in the first inning against Jon Lester when Joey Votto tripled off of a first pitch fastball with one out. Todd Frazier followed with an RBI double, Brandon Phillips singled, and Marlon Byrd drove in Frazier with a 5-3 put out.
