Cubs rally late again to dump Reds 11-8

Seiya Suzuki and Reese McGuire homered in the eighth inning and the Chicago Cubs rallied for an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two runs apiece as the NL Central Division leaders took their fourth straight three-game series.

Austin Hays had two hits and drove in three runs for Cincinnati, which has dropped four of five.

McGuire became the third player since 1900 to homer twice in his first game with the Cubs. The 30-year old catcher was a late addition to the lineup after Carson Kelly was scratched due to illness.

Chicago has 12 games with 10 or more runs, the Cubs’ most through 54 games since 13 in 1898, according to Major League Baseball.

The Cubs return home on Monday to open a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies.
