Reds hit 7 homers in 12-7 win over Cubs

 
David Ross hit two of Cincinnati’s seven homers today, a long-ball barrage that included Ken Griffey Jr.’s 605th, and the Reds beat the Cubs 12-7 to avoid a three-game sweep. Edwin Encarnacion, Brandon Phillips, Adam Dunn and Joey Votto also homered on a muggy day at Wrigley Field with the wind blowing out at 12 mph. (link)
