Cubs 4, Reds 1
CINCINNATI — Former Ray Carlos Peña and Aramis Ramirez hit home runs on consecutive pitches in the fourth to back Ryan Dempster's pitching, and the Cubs snapped an eight-game losing streak. Dempster earned his fourth win in his past five decisions and his first win in five decisions as a visitor at the ballpark he called home in 2002 and 2003.
