Chicago Cubs rally late but Votto’s blast wins it for Reds

The Chicago Cubs showed plenty of fight in this series against the Cincinnati Reds, unfortunately, that fight was only good enough for one win as the Reds got a late three-run home run from Joey Votto to take the series from the Cubs with a 7-4 win. Hector Rondon (5-3, 1.50) surrendered the blast in a non-save spot in the top of the ninth inning.

The Cubs (75-57) found themselves at an early disadvantage as Jason Bourgeois lead off the game with a solo home run off Cubs’ starter Jason Hammel.
