The Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, 1-0, to complete a four-game sweep. It was their fifth straight win.

Andrew Abbott, Nick Martinez, Graham Ashcraft, and Tony Santillan combined for nine scoreless innings to shutout the Cubs for the second time in the series.

Santillan walked two batters in the ninth, but got Pete Crow-Armstrong to strikeout looking on a fastball on the inside corner to strand the two runners and end the ballgame.

It was Santillan's seventh save of the season.
