CHICAGO -- It took the Chicago Cubs 14 innings before they finally found a way to beat Cincinnati at home. Pinch-hitter Julio Borbon singled home the winning run with two outs in the 14th and Chicago beat the Reds 6-5 on Thursday to end Cincinnatis record 12-game winning streak at Wrigley Field. "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." The Cubs hadnt beaten Cincinnati at home since last Aug. 9. With the win, Chicago avoided a four-game sweep and improved to 3-10 against the Reds this season. Hector Rondon (1-0) pitched two innings for the victory and Chicagos bullpen finished with 13 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings in a game that lasted 5 hours, 7 minutes. David DeJesus homered and Nate Schierholtz became the first player this season to hit two triples in a game for the Cubs, who had lost eight of 10 to fall a season-high 13 games below .500. They scored at least five runs for the first time since June 5. "I think we needed that win today," Rondon said. Jonathan Broxton (2-2) took the loss in the longest game for both teams this season. 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. Chicago had lost 25 of 31 to the Reds dating to Sept. 13, 2011. 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 Sorianos groundout to first base, and Schierholtz was intentionally walked before Borbon came through. Castro went 3 for 7 after entering in a 4-for-48 slump. He was back in the second spot in the lineup after dropping to seventh last week and hitting sixth on Wednesday, and came within a few feet of ending the game in the ninth when his double off the wall in left was knocked down by a stiff wind blowing in. "That was by far, obviously, the best day hes had all year," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He should have had a walk-off home run. He crushed that ball. That was a shame. We would have been in New York by now." The Cubs open a three-game series Friday night against the Mets. Instead of using closer Aroldis Chapman in the 14th, Reds manager Dusty Baker went to Broxton. Baker said he didnt want to use Broxton because of a sore right elbow and had him "penciled in as a no" but tried to "sneak" him through one inning. "(Chapman) was my last pitcher to close out the game," Baker 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. 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. This time, however, Reds relievers did a nice job after Latos left. They allowed two runs over 7 2-3 innings. "I felt good, because I was throwing my pitches for strikes for the most part," said Curtis Partch, who tossed four scoreless innings. "It definitely helped me out to get some quick outs. Definitely helped me to go those four innings and not throw too many pitches." Jeff Samardzija pitched six innings for Chicago, allowing five runs and a season-high 10 hits in six innings. He walked four and struck out six. Since beating the White Sox with a two-hitter on May 27, Samardzija is winless in three starts. Chicago tied the score at 5 in the eighth Darwin Barneys two-out single off Sam LeCure. 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. Zack Cozart reached on Castros second error at shortstop leading off the 14th and advanced to third on Bruces two-out single. Rondon struck out Derrick Robinson to end the threat, Cincinnatis first in extra innings. NOTES: Baker and Sveum were both impressed by the pace of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals Wednesday night, won 4-3 in triple overtime by the Chicago Blackhawks. Baker went to United Center but left after regulation and said watching the game was an inspiration to return to the World Series. Sveum watched the entire game on TV. ...

Air Force 1 Sale . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta. James Harrison said in an affidavit provided to the NFL that he has never violated the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs and also has never met the man who alleged to Al-Jazeera America that he supplied the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker with an illegal substance.The affidavit, dated July 11, 2016, was included with a letter from Heather M. McPhee, the NFL Players Associations associate general counsel to Adolpho Birch, the NFLs senior vice president of labor policy. A copy of the letter was obtained by ESPN.The union included the affidavit, along with a transcript of the only references to Harrison in the Al-Jazeera report, to support its position that there is no need for Harrison to agree to an in-person interview with the NFL as the league lacks evidence to support such an interview.Harrison is the only one of the four active players named in the Al-Jazeera report to supply the league with a sworn affidavit. Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and free-agent linebacker Mike Neal were also named in Al-Jazeera report. The NFLPA has previously resisted requests for in-person interviews with the NFL on their behalf as well.Charlie Sly -- the source for the Al-Jazeera report that implicated the four aforementioned players as well as retired quarterback Peyton Manning and athletes from other sports -- has since recanted his remarks. The NFLPA has argued that because of that, the players should not have to discuss the matter with the NFL. Birch has previously disputed the relevance of that argument.The Al-Jazeera America documentary The Dark Side aired last December. In the transcript, which was provided by the NFLPA with the letter, Sly tells an undercover reporter that he supplied Harrison with a substance named D2 or Delta-2. Harrison, however, says in the affidavit that to tthe best of my knowledge and recollection, I have never met the individual who is apparently named Charles Sly, whose remarks appeared in the report.dddddddddddd.Since he doesnt know Sly, Harrison says has not had email, text messaging or other communications with Charles Sly and has never been supplied with a substance called D-2 or Delta-2 that the person who appears to be named Charles Sly refers to in the Al Jazeera report.Harrison ends the affidavit by stating: I have never ingested the substance or product called Delta-2 and I have never violated the NFL Policy Performance Enhancing Substances.The NFLPA points out in the letter that Harrisons affidavit addresses each of the specific references to him in the supplied transcript.In the absence of the existence of any documented, credible evidence, this affidavit constitutes reasonable cooperation by this employee, McPhee writes.Notably, none of the letters previously sent by the union were on behalf of Manning, who is a former player and could decide to cooperate with the league investigation even as the union defends its current players from having to do so. The NFLPA has been in contact with Manning, whose cooperation could conceivably put the other four players in a difficult position from a public relations standpoint. Some people familiar with his thinking have previously told ESPN that they believe he will cooperate.This dispute between the NFL and its union came to a head last month when Harrison, who has a history of public arguments with the league over discipline matters, said commissioner Roger Goodell would have to go to Harrisons house if Goodell wanted to interview him.ESPNs Dan Graziano contributed to this report.
