CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Dusty Baker doesnt like the suicide squeeze bunt -- too many things can go wrong. The way things are going for the Cincinnati Reds these days, he neednt worry. The Reds used another big inning -- one featuring a perfectly executed squeeze -- to beat the Chicago Cubs 5-2 on Sunday for their fifth win in a row. Todd Frazier drove in a pair of runs with a sacrifice fly and a single, and Derrick Robinson pulled off the bunt that put the Reds ahead to stay. "Just an outstanding inning," Baker said. Just one inning to an outstanding start. The Reds have won 13 of their last 16 games, surging to 31-18. Its their best start since 1995, when they reached the NL championship series and got swept by Atlanta. "This team has some big boys, veterans out on the field, and their pitching is some of the best in baseball," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Its tough to score on them. Were in all the games, but you cant add on or score on their bullpen." Cincinnati scored four times in the sixth off left-hander Travis Wood (4-3), extending its domination of the NL Centrals last-place team. Chicago has lost a season-high six straight games. Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up a pair of runs in six innings to a lineup that rarely has a big inning. Aroldis Chapman had a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 14 chances, hitting 100 mph with one pitch that sailed to the backstop. The Reds won the first two games of the series in front of sell-out crowds. Theyve dominated the Cubs lately, winning 16 of their last 18 games in the series. The Reds are 19-5 against the Cubs over the last two seasons, including 7-1 this year. Cincinnati won the series opener 7-4 on Friday with a five-run fourth inning that featured Ryan Hanigans three-run homer. The catcher doubled home a run during Cincinnatis four-run sixth inning on Saturday. The Reds didnt need any homers to pull away. Instead, they sent nine batters to the plate to stop Woods impressive streak. The left-hander had nine quality starts to open the season, the best such streak by a Cubs pitcher since Mordecai Brown had 11 in 1908, the last time they won the World Series. Fraziers RBI single tied it at 2, and the Reds pulled off that suicide squeeze to take the lead. Brandon Phillips was on third when Robinson swung at the first pitch but failed to put the ball in play, then got the sign for the bunt. "Thats part of my game," said Robinson, who practices it every day. "I was kind of expecting it. Wed talked about it in the past. That was the perfect situation for it there." Baker thought so, too. "Im not crazy about it," the manager said. "Its taking a heck of a chance. A lot of bad stuff can happen. He executed it perfectly. Brandon left on time." The run put Bailey in line for the win. Hanigans double made it 4-2, and Cesar Izturis drove him home with a pinch-hit single. "We have a good offence," said Bailey, who gave up five hits and two runs in six innings. "They picked me up today. Theyll do that more times than not. I didnt think they were going to hold us to two runs." Phillips had a single that extended his streak to 12 games. Joey Votto went 0 for 3, ending his season-best streak at 12 games. Anthony Rizzo snapped an 0-for-22 slump with an RBI double in the second inning, slapping his hands when he reached second base. Rizzo scored on Alfonso Sorianos single for a 2-0 lead. The Reds traded Wood to the Cubs in December 2011 as part of a package for reliever Sean Marshall, who went on the disabled list with a sore shoulder before the start of the series. The 26-year-old Wood finished last season strong and had kept it up. He couldnt beat his former team, falling to 0-2 in four starts against the Reds. The Reds got a scare in the second inning when right fielder Jay Bruce and centre fielder Shin-Soo Choo banged shoulders and fell to the warning track while chasing Welington Castillos fly ball. Choo caught it and held on, and neither player was hurt. NOTES: The Reds went 31-17 in 1995. ... Cincinnatis Johnny Cueto makes his second start since returning from the DL in the series finale Sunday. Hell face Matt Garza, also making his second start since returning from the DL. ... Rizzo also singled to centre in the fifth, but Choo threw him out as he tried to stretch it to a double. ... The Reds had homered in each of their last nine games. ...

Premier trainer Chris Waller has compared utilising apprentice Lee Magorrians three-kilogram claim to a drop in grade for Wine Tales.The Irish-born Magorrian is with Wallers stable on a scholarship from New Zealand which in the past has been awarded to Danielle Johnson, Jason Collett, his sister Alysha and Chris Dell.Magorrian has ridden 96 winners in New Zealand reducing his claim to one kilogram, but because of the way their races are classified he is still eligible to claim three in in Australia.Thats a massive thing. Six ratings points, its basically like dropping a horse in grade so its a big plus, Waller said on his weekly video update.Magorrian rode Wine Tales when the horse was second first-up at Rosehill over 1200m on October 29 and gets another chance on her in Saturdays Club Marconi Armatrice Handicap at the same track and distance.Obviously apprentices have a claim because theyre not quite as effective as senior riders and they do make mistakes, Waller said.Taking that into consideraation, I think it gives Wine Tales a good chance to run well first-up as she did on Saturday.dddddddddddd.Magorrian has two other chances for his first Australian win at Rosehill, picking up the rides on Trafalgar and Redoutable Heart for Waller.After the claim Wine Tales will shoulder 58kg as she goes up against race favourite Daysee Doom who will be ridden by trainer Ron Quintons apprentice Andrew Adkins.Adkins, who claims 2kg, was on Daysee Doom when she won her most recent start at Randwick on October 22.Despite that win coming over 1400m, Quinton has elected to drop her back to 1200m as she looks to extend her winning record to five from seven starts.Daysee Doom is the $2.80 top pick ahead of Painted Firetail at $6, while Alart and Nudierudie share the third line of betting at $7.Wine Tales is an $8 hope along with the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Yuma Desert.
