Leake (6-3) shut out the Blue Jays on two hits through six innings, retiring the first 11 men he faced.

Things began to unravel for Leake when he hit Corey Patterson with the first pitch of the seventh inning. Patterson then stole second and scored the tying run on a double by Jose Bautista.

Lind followed with his 15th home run of the season. He has homered in four straight games.

Jo-Jo Reyes (3-5) got the win by allowing two runs on six hits in 6 1/3. Frank Francisco allowed a two-out single in the ninth before picking up his seventh save.

Both Cincinnati runs came on homers by Drew Stubbs in the sixth and Scott Rolen in the seventh.
