CINCINNATI -- Randy Rosario has been up and down from Triple-A to the Majors three times already this season, but despite the frequent changes of scenery, he was always steady and productive when called upon.
Rosario ran into his first big league bout with ineffectiveness on Thursday, yielding a grand slam to Reds outfielder Jesse Winker in the sixth inning of the Cubs' 6-2 loss to the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
Rosario entered the game in relief of Kyle Hendricks (5-7), who loaded the bases by issuing walks to Billy Hamilton and Joey Votto and a base hit to Scooter Gennett.
