TJ Friedl hits a 3
CHICAGO (AP) — TJ Friedl hit a three-run homer, Nick Lodolo pitched six effective innings and the Cincinnati Reds beat the slumping Chicago Cubs 5-2 on Sunday.
Jake Fraley had three hits for Cincinnati, which took two of three in the weekend series. Spencer Steer and Jeimer Candelario each had two hits.
“We’re getting timely hits,” Fraley said, “and when we’re getting guys in scoring position, we’re turning the corner to get them in.
“Our hitters had a really good game plan and we executed it.”
Lodolo (5-2) allowed two runs and seven hits in his second straight win. The left-hander struck out three and walked one.
Nick Martinez pitched two scoreless innings for Cincinnati before Alexis Díaz got three outs for his 12th save.
Pinch-hitter Michael Busch reached on a leadoff walk in the ninth, but pinch-hitter Pete Crow-Armstrong flied out, Nico Hoerner bounced to shortstop and Seiya Suzuki struck out looking.
