Reds starter Brandon Claussen (3-6) walked the first two batters after the rain delay to load the bases and Jones lined a two-out double into the corner in right to clear the bases and give the Cubs the lead. Henry Blanco dropped an RBI single into shallow center to score Jones for a 4-1 lead.
Juan Pierre doubled in the fifth, stole third and scored when Reds catcher Javier Valentin sailed a throw into left field for an error, bumping the lead to 5-1.
