Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Drew Stubbs knocked in the game-winning run in the 11th inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

Facing Alberto Cabrera (0-1) with two outs Brandon Phillips lifted a fly ball to right field, but the ball skipped off David DeJesus' glove and Phillips took second.

Stubbs followed with a line drive single to left field to score Phillips.

The Cubs had the bases loaded in the tenth, but couldn't get a run home. Starlin Castro singled then moved up to third on heads-up base running when Luis Valbuena dropped a fly ball in between three Reds fielders.

Following a Welington Castro strike out, Brett Jackson walked to load the bases, but Logan Ondrusek (5-2) got Steve Clevenger to ground out to end the threat.

Jonathan Broxton retired the side in order in the bottom of the 11th to pick up his fourth save.
