 The hot-hitting Reds had four of the homers during an eight-run
seventh inning, all of them coming after Cubs starter Ted Lilly
retired the first two batters.
Brandon Phillips began the barrage with a solo shot to left, and
Jonny Gomes chased Lilly (3-7) with a two-run homer. Jeff Stevens
came on in relief and surrendered a solo home run to Corky Miller,
and after back-to-back walks, Stubbs went deep for the second time
in the game.
Stubbs also hit a solo home run in the third inning and another solo
shot in the ninth.
Mike Leake (6-1) picked up the win for Cincinnati, allowing three
runs in six innings. Three relievers combined to pitch three perfect
innings to finish it off.
