CINCINNATI (AP) — Jose Peraza had a pinch-hit, bases-loaded double in the eighth inning on Thursday night, rallying the Reds to a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs that avoided a series sweep.
The Reds loaded the bases with two outs against Pedro Strop, putting together two hits and a walk.
Peraza, who was 0 for 4 off the bench this season, doubled over the head of Ian Happ in center for a 3-2 lead. Strop let in another run with a wild pitch.
