CINCINNATI (AP) The Reds hitter in the deepest slump kept their winning streak going.
Jesse Winker hit a three-run homer - one of four off White Sox starter Jonathan Stiever - and Cincinnati extended its surge into playoff contention with a 7-1 win Friday night for its season-high sixth victory in a row.
The Reds moved to .500 (26-26) for the first time since Aug. 3. They've had a winning record only once, after their season-opening victory over the Tigers. Their winning streak has them in playoff position, in second place in the NL Central behind the Cubs.
