CINCINNATI, May 24 (UPI) -- Alex Gonzalez hit an 11th-inning RBI double Sunday to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Indians.

It was the first time this season the Reds won a game in their final at-bat.

Gonzalez's third hit and third RBI broke a 3-3 tie with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning in the final contest of the three-game interleague series at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park.

The shortstop went 7-for-12 in the series.

Jerry Hairston Jr. had one RBI and Ramon Hernandez added a run and three hits for the Reds, whose record rose to 17-3.

The winner was reliever Carlos Fisher (1-0) in his first major league contest.

Cleveland's Luis Valbuena and Grady Sizemore both had one run, two hits and one RBI.

A run scored on a seventh-inning error by Adam Rosales, while Shin-Soo Choo added two hits for the Indians, who went 4-6 on their 10-game road trip.

The losing pitcher was Luis Vizcaino (1-2).
