What a start to Saturday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds? After the first inning the Reds led 4-3 and after the top of the second inning the Cubs took a 7-4 lead.
Anthony Rizzo and Joey Votto each hit three-run home runs in the first, but then Willson Contreras cranked a grand slam to left-center field in the second inning to put the Cubs back on top.
Cody Reed did not have the best of starts for the Reds, giving up seven earned runs in just two innings.
