CHICAGO (AP) — Pinch-hitter Drew Sutton lined a two-out, two-run double off Carlos Marmol in the ninth inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-5 after squandering a five-run lead Saturday.

Marmol (2-3), the Cubs closer, walked two straight batters with two outs before Sutton lined a ball into the right field corner to break the 5-5 tie.

Arthur Rhodes (1-1) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the win. Francisco Cordero worked the ninth for his 34th save in 37 chances.

The Cubs made three infield errors in the third inning, helping the Reds score twice en route to a 5-0 lead after four innings.

But Chicago scored three in the sixth off starter Johnny Cueto and tied the game in the seventh on Geovany Soto’s two-out, two-run, bases-loaded double off Nick Masset. Chicago’s Aramis Ramirez tried to score from first on Soto’s drive to the center field wall but was thrown out at the plate on a relay from shortstop Paul Janish.

Cueto gave up four hits and three runs in 5 1-3 innings. He was driven out in the sixth after an RBI single by Ramirez and a run-scoring double by Soto. Bobby Scales had a sacrifice fly off reliever Daniel Ray Herrera.
