CINCINNATI (AP) — Edgar Renteria’s few homers tend to be memorable.

Renteria hit his first homer since his World Series MVP performance, helping the Cincinnati Reds break out of their offensive slump and beat the Cleveland Indians 7-5 on Sunday, their only win of the season against their intrastate rival.

Renteria’s solo shot barely cleared the wall in right field and put the Reds up 7-2 in the fifth, putting the Reds in line for a breakthrough win. The Indians took five of six in the series, matching their best result. The Reds went 5-1 in 2008.

“That’s what we needed,” Renteria said. “It’s the same thing if you hit one like that or it goes 500 feet — they call it a home run. It’s always nice to hit one.”

Chris Heisey also homered off Mitch Talbot (2-5), who has struggled since returning from a sore elbow. The Reds piled up six runs and 10 hits in his four innings.

Mike Leake (8-4) became the Reds’ first eight-game winner, matching his career high with eight strikeouts in six innings. Francisco Cordero pitched the ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances.

Five players learned before the game that they’ll be headed to Arizona for the All-Star game next week — Cleveland’s Asdrubal Cabrera and Chris Perez, Cincinnati’s Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce. Instead of the stars, the reserves rallied Cincinnati to its win.

Renteria had a pair of hits, including his first homer in 130 at-bats this season. He hit three for the Giants last season, and two more in the World Series.

Heisey also had a pair of hits during a rare start in center field. Miguel Cairo filled in at third base and had a pair of hits and scored twice.

Cincinnati is delighted to be done with interleague play. The defending NL Central champions went only 6-12 against the American League, keeping them stuck a few games out of first place at the season’s midpoint.

“Thank you, Lord!” Phillips said. “I’m glad interleague is over because they roughed us up this year. We’re not playing to our potential, but I think we’ll be all right.”
