CHICAGO – With the season lost and the team slumping, the Cubs have to look ahead to happier times. Travis Wood continues to show he might part of their turnaround.

Ryan Ludwick hit a two-run double in the eighth, and the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a 4-2 win over the Cubs on Saturday. After Drew Stubbs doubled and Brandon Phillips singled off Cubs reliever James Russell (5-1), Ludwick looped a pitch down the left-field line and into the corner.

Wood held Cincinnati to five hits and matched a career-high with eight strikeouts, but he did not figure in the decision despite leaving with a 2-1 lead.
