CINCINNATI — Ian Happ launched a two-run homer and the Chicago Cubs banged out nine doubles among their 17 hits in routing the Cincinnati Reds 13-4 to avoid a series sweep. Seiya Suzuki, Patrick Wisdom and Pete Crow-Armstrong each had a two-run double as the Cubs set season highs for runs and hits. They struck early and never really let the Reds climb back into the game. Chicago hammered one of Cincinnati's best pitchers, left-hander Nick Lodolo, who exited with two outs in the sixth inning. He tied a career high by allowing eight runs and 11 hits in his worst outing of the season. The Cubs hit nine doubles for the sixth time and first since Aug. 30, 2010. They finished one shy of the franchise record.
