CHICAGO (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds couldn’t get one more scoreless inning from their bullpen, and it cost them their record winning streak at Wrigley Field.

Pinch-hitter Julio Borbon singled home the winning run off Jonathan Broxton with two outs in the 14th inning and the Chicago Cubs beat Cincinnati 6-5 on Thursday to end the Reds’ 12-game winning streak at Wrigley.

Cincinnati hadn’t lost in Chicago to the Cubs since last August 9 and was within one game of its first four-game sweep at Wrigley since Aug. 16-18, 1968. The previous record for consecutive victories by a visitor at Wrigley Field was 10, by the St. Louis Cardinals (1943-44) and matched by the New York Giants (1950-51) and Montreal Expos (1982-83), according to STATS.

Instead of using closer Aroldis Chapman in the 14th with the game tied at 5, Dusty Baker went to Broxton (2-2), who the Reds manager said he didn’t want to use because of a sore right elbow.

Baker said he had Broxton “penciled in as a no” but tried to “sneak” him through one inning.

Starlin Castro led off the 14th with a single against Broxton and stole second when Anthony Rizzo struck out. Castro went to third on Alfonso Soriano’s groundout to first base, and Nate Schierholtz was intentionally walked before Borbon came through, ending the longest game of the season for both teams at 5 hours, 7 minutes.

“He was our last, last, last resort,” Baker said of Broxton. “I was even asking guys in case I had to use a position player. Chapman, he warmed up about eight times.”

Baker said Chapman was his “last pitcher to close out the game” so he opted to try and get one inning out of Broxton. The right-hander obliged and almost made it out of the frame before Borbon singled through the left side.

“I did what I could,” Broxton said.

Mat Latos was trying to win his seventh straight decision to start the season for Cincinnati. He allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings and wasn’t happy with his outing, despite leaving with a lead.

“It was just one of those days,” he said.

Latos has won his last 10 regular-season decisions since losing to the Cardinals on Aug. 24, and the Cincinnati bullpen has blown saves in five of his games this season. Even though the Reds allowed Chicago to tie the game in the eighth on Darwin Barney’s two-out single, the Cincinnati relievers were strong.

They went 7 2-3 innings and allowed two runs, with Curtis Partch throwing four scoreless on 53 pitches.

“I felt good, because I was throwing my pitches for strikes for the most part,” Partch said. “It definitely helped me out to get some quick outs. Definitely helped me to go those four innings and not throw too many pitches.”

Cincinnati scored twice in the second on RBI singles by Devin Mesoraco and Shin-Soo Choo and added two in the fifth on run-scoring singles by Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips.

Jay Bruce had four hits for the Reds. Choo reached base three times and scored twice, but Cincinnati still fell 3 1/2 games behind St. Louis in the NL Central.

The Cubs, meanwhile, avoided falling a season-high 14 games below .500 despite Jeff Samardzija allowing five runs and a season-high 10 hits over six innings.

They got a home run from DeJesus and two triples from Schierholtz, while Castro went 3 for 7 after falling into a 4-for-48 slump.

Hector Rondon (1-0) earned the win, pitching the last two of the Cubs bullpen’s eight scoreless innings.

“Everybody did a great job today against a nice lineup,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.

Borbon had to wait almost five hours for his chance to help.

“I was ready from probably the ninth inning on, probably even a little earlier just trying to get that opportunity to go up there and help in any way possible,” Borbon said. “It feels pretty good.”
