Reds sweep Dodgers with 5-4 win

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eugenio Suarez and Joey Votto homered, and the last-place Reds beat Los Angeles 5-3 for their first four-game sweep of the Dodgers since the Big Red Machine accomplished the feat in August 1976.

Luis Castillo allowed three runs _ two earned _ and four hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks.

The defending NL champion Dodgers finished a 1-5 homestand and have lost seven of eight.

At 16-23 they are fourth in the NL West, just one game ahead of San Diego.
