Drew Stubbs hit three of the Reds’ season-high seven home runs to lead a 14-3 romp over the Cubs yesterday in Chicago.

Cincinnati had four of the homers during an eight-run seventh inning, all coming after Cubs starter Ted Lilly (3-7) retired the first two batters. Brandon Phillips began the barrage with a solo shot to left, and Jonny Gomes added a two-run homer. Jeff Stevens then surrendered a solo home run to Corky Miller, and after back-to-back walks, Stubbs went deep for the second time.
