CINCINNATI (AP) — Jonathan India slammed a two-run homer and had five RBIs as the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 14-5.
The loss was the 12th straight for the free-falling Cubs.
Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto got the 2,000th hit of his career, a solid single in the seventh.
He came up again later in the inning and drove in a run with another base hit during an eight-run Reds inning.
Wade Miley allowed four hits and struck out seven over seven scoreless innings as the Reds won for the ninth time in 13 games to move within 7 1/2 games of first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.
