Wood, Rizzo Power Cubs Past Reds, 5-0

Chicago CubsCHICAGO (AP) — Travis Wood pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning and Anthony Rizzo hit his first home run of the season, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 5-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

The Cubs (5-3) won two of three games in the series and moved back into first place in the National League Central.

Wood (1-1) walked two and struck out seven. It was a nice bounce-back from his first start of the season in Colorado where he yielded three runs on seven hits in 4 innings.

Cincinnati starter Jason Marquis (0-1) was in trouble from the outset, allowing five runs,  four earned,  on seven hits in four innings.
