Wade LeBlanc (1-2) limited the Reds to three runs on two hits over six frames, recording his first victory of the season.

Reds starter Dontrelle Willis (0-3), meanwhile, was rocked for four runs over 2 2/3 innings before exiting with forearm soreness in his left pitching arm.

The team said the veteran hurler will be evaluated Monday.

Cincinnati saw its four-game winning streak snapped despite a three-run homer from Jay Bruce.
