Chicago hit six home runs as the Cubs clobber the Reds 17-5

The Cubs defeated the Reds 17-5 behind six home runs, with Pete Crow-Armstrong hitting three of them. Chicago's bats dominated early, with Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman each going deep in the first inning, and Carson Kelly adding a three-run shot in the fifth to extend the lead to 10-5. The Reds scored early runs on a two-run homer by Eugenio Suarez and a solo shot by Sal Stewart, but could not keep pace as the Cubs pulled away with additional home runs from Crow-Armstrong in the seventh and strong relief pitching that held Cincinnati scoreless after the fifth inning.
