Reds slam Cubbies in 2

GAME 1 - Wrigley Field
Cueto vs Samardzija
Reds 13, Cubs 2

Cincy scored 10 runs over the final 2 innings to win this series opener going away.  Heading into the 8th the Reds held a 3-0 lead that they gained in the top of the first.  Cueto was fantastic and didn't yield a run until he tired in the 8th.  Todd Frazier knocked in 5 of Cincy's 13 runs.
Reds lead series 1-0

GAME 2 - Great American BP
T.Wood vs Latos
Reds 5, Cubs 1 (15 inn)

It took 8 Reds pitchers and 15 innings of play for the boys from the Queen city to finally dispatch the Cubbies.  Chicago rode a 1st inning Rizzo solo blast until the 6th when the Reds tied it up on a Ludwick homer.  Neither team could score again until Brandon Phillips hit a walk off granny off of Corpas.
Reds win series 2-0
