Seiya Suzuki clubbed a tying two-run homer in the fifth and had
three RBIs, while Ian Happ also went deep for Chicago (57-78),
which scored all of its runs after two outs and took advantage
of a season-high 11 walks by Cincinnati pitchers.
Back from a shoulder issue that kept him out since June 10,
Chicago's Wade Miley allowed a two-run triple and a solo homer
to Kyle Farmer, plus two walks while striking out six in four
innings.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old Wesneski (1-0), acquired from the New
York Yankees as part of last month's deal for reliever Scott
Effross, allowed two hits and one walk while striking out eight
over the final five innings.
Miley's return began with a four-pitch walk to Jonathan India,
who moved up on Madrigal's throwing error off Albert Almora's
grounder to second base. Both scored when Farmer dropped the
ball down the right field line and it took a strange hop past
Suzuki.
Chicago got a run back on Happ's solo homer into the
left-center-field bleachers in the bottom of the first off Reds
starter Justin Dunn. Farmer gave the Reds another two-run lead
with his homer just over the ivy in left in the third.
Suzuki went deep into the same left field bleachers with a man
on in the fifth to make it 3-3. That ended the night for Dunn,
who also allowed four hits while walking four with a strikeout
over 4 2/3 innings.
The Cubs took their first lead in the sixth when Madrigal lined
a single to right field off Francisco Cruz with the bases
loaded, scoring a pair. Christopher Morel's two-RBI single
highlighted Chicago's three-run seventh.
Ian Gibaut (1-1) took the loss for the Reds (53-80).
The Cubs placed star Willson Contreras (ankle) on the 10-day
injury list. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's Nick Senzel was scratched
from Tuesday's lineup, also with an ankle injury.
