Chicago had the potential tying run at the plate with two outs
in the ninth when Michael Busch was caught stealing second base
by Trevino on a pitchout.
Clay Holmes (6-8) went 5 1/3 innings for the Cubs and allowed
six runs.
Eugenio Suárez tied it at 4 with a base hit to drive in Elly De
La Cruz. Héctor Rodríguez grounded into a fielder's choice as
Tyler Stephenson was called out at home before Trevino came
through with the go-ahead hit.
De La Cruz also drove in two runs for the Reds, who dropped
three of four to the Los Angeles Dodgers in their previous
series.
Ian Happ homered in the third to tie it at 2 and Seiya Suzuki
had a two-run single with the bases loaded in the fourth to put
the Cubs up 4-3.
Julian Aguiar (2-1) got the win in relief, allowing two runs in
three innings. All-Star starter Chase Burns, who is on an
innings restriction, gave up two runs in three innings.
