(CINCINNATI) – Mike Moustakas hit a two-run single as Cincinnati scored five times in the fourth inning on just one hit, and the Reds took advantage of wild Chicago White Sox pitching for a 7-3 win Sunday. Aristides Aquino hit a two-run homer as the surging Reds stayed in contention for a playoff spot, taking two out of three from the the AL Central leaders for their seventh win in eight games. Cincinnati broke away by turning six walks, a hit batter and Moustakas' single into a big inning. The playoff-bound White Sox issued a season-high 11 walks and hit three batters overall. Chicago starter Dylan Cease (5-3) was pulled after walking the bases loaded with no outs in the fourth. At that point, he hadn't allowed a run or hit, but had walked a career-worst seven and struck out five. Two runs scored on infield outs and another came home on a bases-loaded walk before the left-handed hitting Moustakas singled off lefty reliever Ross Detwiler for Cincinnati's first hit. The White Sox scored on back-to-back RBI singles by Nick Madrigal and Jose Abreu in the fifth. Aquino answered with an upper-deck drive to left. He celebrated his second homer with his trademark right arm flex as he rounded third. Reds starter Michael Lorenzen struck out a career-high eight in 4 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks. He was disappointed he didn't respond well to the lengthy bottom of the fourth. Lucas Sims (3-0) pitched 2 1/3 innings to get the win. He struck out the top three batters in Chicago's lineup, including Abreu in an 11-pitch at bat to end the seventh, after walking the first two batters.
