Starlin Castro, who made his major league debut on Friday, led off the sixth with the Cubs' first hit, barely beating out a sharp grounder up the middle. Phillips' throw from second base just missed nipping Castro.
Chicago finally got to Leake with two out in the seventh. Marlon Byrd doubled, moved to third on Aramis Ramirez's infield single and scored on a wild pitch. Colvin then hit a drive to right for his fourth homer.
Leake, the eighth overall selection in the 2009 draft, allowed four hits, struck out six and walked one.
Jay Bruce and Gomes led off the second inning with back-to-back doubles to give Cincinnati a 1-0 lead. Gomes stole third and scored on Stubbs' grounder to shortstop.
Dempster (2-3) gave up five runs and six hits in seven innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
NOTES: The Reds' 14-2 win on Saturday was their largest margin of victory in a game since they beat the Mariners 16-1 at Seattle on June 22, 2007. ... Dempster, who pitched for the Reds at Great American Ball Park in 2003, is 0-7 in 27 appearances at the facility.
