Jay Bruce returned to right field and hit another two-run homer on Tuesday afternoon, and Johnny Cueto extended his winning streak against Chicago, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-2 victory over the Cubs in the opener of a doubleheader. The Reds put first baseman Joey Votto back on the disabled list before the game, hoping a strained muscle above his left knee will heal enough to let him play this season. He was back in the outfield and homered again in the first inning off left-hander Travis Wood (7-7). Cueto (9-6), who was picked for his first All-Star team on Sunday, extended his stretch of success against the Cubs.
