Schebler had the first multi-homer game of his career, driving in a career-high five runs. He and Brandon Phillips each collected three hits, while Joey Votto, Zack Cozart and Adam Duvall also went deep. The Reds’ 13 runs matched a season high for the second time.
DeSclafani (8-2) allowed just four hits, walking one and striking out nine. The right-hander threw 108 pitches as Cincinnati won for just the second time in six games.

The right-hander lasted just two innings, surrendering a career-high nine runs on nine hits and losing for the first time since Aug. 3. Arizona has alternated wins and losses in the first six games of this homestand, going 3-3.
