Story we are following from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
The Cincinnati Reds are on a season-best six-game winning streak while the visiting Chicago Cubs are battling a prolonged slump as the teams prepare to meet again at 4:10 p.m. on Saturday at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds have taken the first two games of the four-game series. On Friday, Cincinnati earned a 3-2 victory that featured a two-run, two-out double from Tyler Stephenson in the fourth inning and six innings of one-run pitching from Nick Lodolo.
Alexis Diaz allowed a run in the ninth but escaped to post his 13th save in 15 chances when he struck out Patrick Wisdom with the tying run on second base.
Tyler Stephenson’s two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning backed the excellent starting pitching from Nick Lodolo in the Reds’ 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park.
“Might as well make it interesting,” Stephenson said. “Diaz did a good job getting out of it. (Pitching coach Derek Johnson) had a good visit and Alexis made a really good pitch to Wisdom. It’s another (win), so we’ll take it.”

Stephenson also noted after the game the key contribution of rookie Blake Dunn, who doubled for his first major league hit in the fifth and scored on a Stuart Fairchild single.
The Cubs come into the Saturday game having lost 11 of 15 and reeling from a pair of injuries to regular players.
Second baseman Nico Hoerner was termed day-to-day with a right hand injury by Cubs manager Craig Counsell.
Hoerner was out of the lineup on Friday, a day after being hit on the outside of the hand by a 96 mph fastball from Reds righty Hunter Greene in the fourth inning of Chicago’s 8-4 loss.
Hoerner wound up appearing as a ninth-inning pinch runner on Friday, three innings after the Cubs lost right fielder Seiya Suzuki to a lower left back injury.
Jordan Wicks was activated from 15-day injured list on Friday and added to the Chicago bullpen.
“We don’t have a rotation need right now,” Counsell said. “If one comes up, he’s obviously a big candidate for it, but we don’t have one right now, so he’ll be in the bullpen for the time being.”
