Joey Votto and Chris Dickerson both had two hits and one RBI, while Laynce Nix had two runs and two hits for the Reds, who had lost five of six.
Grady Sizemore led Cleveland with two hits and one RBI. One run scored on a second-inning double-play groundout by Luis Valbuena, and both Travis Hafner and Jhonny Peralta had two hits for the Indians, who have lost nine of their last 11 games.
