CHICAGO (AP) — Anthony Rizzo hit a grand slam in the first inning and Javier Baez scored on a wild pitch in the ninth as the Chicago Cubs overcame a late rally to beat the Reds 7-6.
Baez opened the bottom of the ninth with a double off Wandy Peralta and pinch-hitter Jon Jay walked. Then, Ben Zobrist moved the runners with a groundout.
Reliever Blake Wood came in and struck out Albert Almora Jr. On the next batter Wood threw a breaking pitch that got away from catcher Tucker Barnhart for the game winner.
