Reds 10, Cubs 2: Jay Bruce hit his first career grand slam and Joey Votto added a two-run homer, an all-rookie power display that sent Cincinnati past visiting Chicago last night.
Manager Lou Piniella got lost on his way to the ballpark. Starter Ted Lilly lasted a season-low two innings. And the Cubs' losing streak reached a season-high six games against a team already eliminated from the race.
Lilly (13-9) gave up five runs, including Votto's 18th homer, before his quick exit. The left-hander has started four times against the Reds this season and lost all four. Bruce hit his 16th homer off Jon Lieber for a 9-0 lead in the fourth inning, silencing the thousands of blue-shirted Cubs fans in the stands.
Right-hander Bronson Arroyo (14-10) won his fourth straight start, allowing one run in 61/3 innings of a game that kicked off the Cubs' longest road trip of the season.
So much for returning to the scene of one of their best moments.
The Cubs clinched the NL Central title at Great American Ball Park last season, when they won 85 games and got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round.
