The Cubs had a much more successful night offensively at the Great American Ball Park after they were shut out on Thursday. Unfortunately, the Reds had an even better time with five home runs to hand the Chicago a second consecutive defeat.
Shu014dta Imanaga gave up another 1st inning solo home run to Miguel Andujar, and Cincinnati moved ahead 1-0. Dansby Swanson tied the score with his own homer off Nick Lodolo in the following frame. Ian Happ then gave the North Siders a 2-1 lead with an RBI double in the 3rd.
