Reds beat Cubs behind Bailey

CHICAGO – Dusty Baker and the Cincinnati Reds moved one step closer to the NL Central title Tuesday behind another solid September start by Homer Bailey.

The right-hander pitched effectively into the eighth inning and Ryan Hanigan hit a three-run double to lead Cincinnati to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs.

"We had just enough offense to win," Baker said after his 3,000th game as a big league manager. "That was a big double by Hanigan. Just a big victory for us, back to 30 over and one step closer."
