CHICAGO — Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 596th homer, and Joey Votto doubled with the bases loaded, homered and drove in five runs to lead Cincinnati over the Chicago Cubs 9-2 today and end the Reds' five-game losing streak.

With the wind blowing in at Wrigley for the first time in the three-game series, Votto delivered the key hits and the Reds' Dusty Baker beat the team he managed from 2003-06. The Cubs won the first two games 9-5 and 12-3.

Edinson Volquez (2-0) gave up one run and four hits in five innings. Ted Lilly (0-3) allowed five runs and six hits in six innings.
