Royce Clayton’s pinch-hit single in the ninth inning drove in Chris Denorfia and lifted the Cincinnati Reds over the Chicago Cubs 3-2 Sunday.
The Cubs led 2-1 in the ninth but Ryan Dempster (1-9) had his ninth blown save of the season. Pinch-hitter Todd Hollandsworth led off with a double and Dempster uncorked two wild pitches that allowed pinch-runner Ray Olmedo to score.
Chris Denorfia then singled to left and moved to third on Scott Hatteberg’s base hit.
