CINCINNATI—Mike Leake worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the first. He struggled with his control. He collected two hits at the plate.This was one wild major league debut.Leake pitched into the seventh after a rough start, Ramon Hernandez drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded walk and the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Cubs 3-1 on Sunday.The Cubs open at Wrigley Field with the Brewers Monday after a 2-4 road trip.The ex-Arizona State star got Aramis Ramirez to pop up, struck out Marlon Byrd and retired Alfonso Soriano on a flyout to end the threat.Derrek Lee drove in the Cubs only run with an RBI single in the fifth.The Cubs left 11 runners on base, frustrating manager Lou Piniella.The Reds loaded the bases in the eighth inning on two singles and a walk against John Grabow (0-2), and Esmailin Caridad walked Hernandez to force in the go-ahead run. Jonny Gomes followed with a sacrifice fly.Nick Masset (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Francisco Cordero finished for his second save in two opportunities.Tom Gorzelanny, acquired from Pittsburgh on July 30th, was sharp in his first start of the season. The left-hander struck out seven in 6 1/3 innings, allowing an unearned run and four hits.Left fielder Alfonso Soriano’s error helped the Reds tie it in the seventh. With runners on first and second and one out, Soriano dropped Gomes’ fly ball into the corner. That loaded the bases for pinch-hitter Miguel Cairo, whose sharp one-hopper glanced off reliever Sean Marshall for the tying infield single.

NOTES—Leake lined a single to center field with one out in the third for Cincinnati’s first hit and started the sixth with a soft liner up the right-field line. He is the first Reds pitcher to get two hits in his major league debut since Benny Frey on Sept. 18, 1929, against Philadelphia. Leake’s game cap was headed for the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown….Lee has reached base at least once in each of the Cubs first six games…..Ryan Theriot was doubtful for Sunday’s game after he pulled a right calf muscle advancing to second on a wild pitch on Saturday. Pregame tests convinced Piniella that Theriot was OK to start the series finale….James Russell, son of Cincinnati native and former Reds RHP Jeff Russell, got the final out of the eighth inning for the Cubs.
