Jolbert Cabrera had a two-run double during Cincinnati's three-run fifth inning. He went four for four before leaving the game with a dislocated left index finger, suffered while making a headfirst slide while advancing on a wild pitch in the seventh.

Joey Votto added a homer among his three hits.
