Aristides Aquino hit two more home runs against the Cubs and helped the Cincinnati Reds pull away from Chicago 7-1 Wednesday night.
Mike Minor , pitching at Wrigley Field for the first time since 2014 with Atlanta, gave up 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings but just one run.
"He had a good breaking ball working," Reds manager David Bell said. "He threw strikes. It seemed like any time he got into trouble and got a runner on, he bared down and made a pitch. He got three groundballs when he needed them." "I didn’t think about that," Bell said. "For us, we’re so focused on what he’s trying to do, the hard work he’s putting in, and it’s fun to see him going to the plate with confidence. And the harder he works, the more success he has, the more that confidence continues to build."Aquino had an RBI single during a four-run sixth. Assad was pulled after giving up consecutive singles to Jonathan India and Kyle Farmer with one out.
"He’s got a really good way of pitching in with his two-seamer, which is really unnatural for a young guy," Cubs manager David Ross said. "He has a good feel for that and deception with his slider."Steer made his first major league start at second base, and Bell intends to move his recently promoted rookie to various positions.
