Early socked dingers from Jonathan India and Nick Castellanos gave the Cincinnati Reds an immediate lead in the second game of their series against the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field, the two 1st inning dingers finally, mercifully ending the Reds streak of allowing their opponents to score the game’s initial run.
Thanks to Wade Miley, for the most part, that turned the game into a win.
A pair of insurance runs in the Top of the 8th completed the offensive output by the Reds on the day, with a big 2-out ribbie from Mike Moustakas coming after the Cubs had opted to walk Joey Votto intentionally beforehand.
