Homers fuel Cubs’ three-hit shutout in Cincinnati

Travis Wood finally halted his winless streak at 12 starts, and he did it not only against his former team, but against one of the best pitchers in the game. The left-hander outdueled Johnny Cueto with the help of homers from Anthony Rizzo and Arismendy Alcantara as the Cubs beat the Reds, 3-0, in the opener of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night. It was Chicago’s fourth straight win and seventh in its last nine games.
