CHICAGO, May 31 (UPI) -- Greg Maddux ended a personal 4-game losing streak in helping the Chicago Cubs to a rain-delayed 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Maddux (6-4) had not won in the month of May but allowed three runs and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings Tuesday in collecting the 324th victory of his career. Maddux is tied with Nolan Ryan and Don Sutton for 13th place on the all-time victory list.
Jacque Jones had a solo home run and drove in three other runs as the Cubs waited out a rain delay of more than an hour before finishing off the win and handing Brandon Claussen (3-6) the loss.
Chicago trailed 1-0 after the second but came back after the rain delay with a 2-out, 4-run fourth inning. Matt Murton doubled and Claussen walked two batters to set up a 3-run double by Jones. Jones scored on a Henry Blanco single.
The Cubs increased their lead in the fifth when Juan Pierre doubled, stole third and scored on a throwing error on that play.
Each team scored twice in the sixth before Jones gave the Cubs an insurance run in the eighth with his eighth home run of the season.
