With the bases loaded and two outs, the Marlins had an opportunity for additional runs in the first when Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner dove and caught Matt Mervis’ grounder and threw him out.

Armstrong's first career grand slam in the seventh inning of Friday's 13-6 win over the Reds made him the first Cubs player since runs batted in became an official stat in 1920 to have two games with at least six RBIs in a calendar month.

The Reds are back at home after a 1-2 trip to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cincinnati has followed up an 11-5 stretch from April 11-28 with a 9-13 spell since. The Reds have logged a strikeout-heavy .664 OPS in the latter stretch.
