Farmer, who received a cortisone shot for his sore back on
Sunday, missed the first three games of the series before
returning to the lineup to face left-handed starter Justin
Steele. Farmer went 4-for-4 and matched a career high with five
RBIs.
The Reds shellacked the Cubs for 20 runs on 20 hits, more than
enough to end the six-game personal losing streak of Cincinnati
rookie starter Hunter Greene (2-6). The right-hander battled
through five innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and home
runs to Nico Hoerner, Willson Contreras and Ian Happ. Greene
walked two and struck out six.
Steele (1-5) failed to retire any of the five batters he faced
in the third, getting knocked from the game when Tyler
Stephenson drove home two runs with a single that snapped a 3-3
tie. Nick Senzel had four hits and three runs, and Stephenson
and former Cubs player Albert Almora Jr. had three hits and
three runs. Almora drove in three runs and Stephenson two.
Brandon Drury and Tommy Pham also drove in three runs apiece for
the Reds.

the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Detroit

off Trevor Stephan (2-2) and moved to third on a wild pitch
prior to Cabrera's walk-off hit. Robbie Grossman had two hits
and scored two runs for Detroit in the opener of a four-game
series. Detroit starter Tarik Skubal allowed three runs on five
hits in seven innings. He struck out five and walked one.
