The Cincinnati Reds clinched their second consecutive series, beating the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Saturday at Great American Ball Park. Here are the main storylines.
Box score:Reds 5, Cubs 3
Jackson Stephens had a solid debut. Making his first major-league start, Stephens had more good than bad in his debut. He struck out four in his first two innings, hitting 97 mph with his fastball and fooling hitters with his curve.
The third is the only time the Cubs really got to him. Jon Jay hit a leadoff homer to right to give Chicago a 1-0 lead.
