CINCINNATI – In the span of about a week and a half, catcher Reese McGuire went from opting out of his minor-league deal with the Cubs to homering twice for the major-league team against the Reds on Sunday.

“Never give up on your dream, because this game can battle test you, for sure,” McGuire said after the Cubs’ 11-8 comeback victory. “I’m just happy that the family’s supporting, and – I’m getting emotional again. But never give up on your dream and just keep believing in yourself.
