Reds break out after Schebler ends HR drought

CINCINNATI -- Scott Schebler ended a long Reds home run drought on Monday night, and perhaps it was the spark the rest of the lineup needed to get going and finally take a lead. Schebler's two-run homer tied the game in the fifth inning, before a five-run sixth paved the way for a 10-4 victory at Great American Ball Park.

That ended Cincinnati's five-game losing streak and gave interim manager Jim Riggleman his first win since taking over for Bryan Price.

With the bases loaded and no outs in the sixth, pinch-hitter Jesse Winker lined an RBI single to left field off reliever Peter Moylan to give the Reds their first lead in exactly a week.
