CHICAGO -- The bullpen flopped, the offense disappeared late and the Chicago Cubs again couldnt escape their worst funk this season.Tucker Barnhart hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Trevor Cahill in the seventh inning, and the Cincinnati Reds beat Chicago 5-3 Wednesday -- the Cubs 12th loss in 17 games.A day after having seven players selected for next weeks All-Star Game, the Cubs lost to the last-place Reds for the second time in three days and dropped below the San Francisco Giants for the majors best record.I cant connect a bunch of negative dots. It just happened, said manager Joe Maddon, who believes this poor stretch is more a snapshot than a sign of bigger problems.Im not really that concerned, he said.Still, the Cubs had been atop the majors since April. Shortstop Addison Russell, part of the entire infield voted in as NL starters, couldnt explain how theyve lost their form.The past few weeks it hasnt been working, Russell said, but we still have high hopes and high faith.Chicago led 3-1 when Brandon Phillips and Jose Peraza hit consecutive one-out singles against Cahill (1-3) and Barnhart sent a 2-2 sinker into the basket in center field for his third home run this year.It brought everyone to life, I can tell you that, Reds manager Bryan Price said.Zack Cozart homered for the third straight game, starting Cincinnatis offense with his eighth career leadoff homer. The Reds lone All-Star, Adam Duvall, walked and scored on Carl Edwards Jr.s wild pitch in the eighth.Anthony DeSclafani (3-0) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings, struck out six and walked none. Michael Lorenzen pitched two hitless innings, and Tony Cingrani got three straight outs for his 10th save in 15 chances.The Reds improved to 3-10 against their division rivals.We should be more competitive against everybody, I think, once we get our pitching into good shape, Price said. I think were closer.Adam Warren was called up from Triple-A Iowa to give the Chicago rotation extra rest with a spot start, and he allowed three hits in five innings, retiring his final 11 batters.Russell hit an RBI double in the second and scored on Miguel Monteros single, and Ben Zobrists fifth-inning homer gave the Cubs a 3-1 lead.But the Cubs didnt have a hit after the fifth inning. Theyre 1-5 in their last six home games after starting 25-8 at Wrigley Field.Listen, the big thing we need to do better in the latter part of the game is scoring runs, Maddon said. If its close, were behind or its tied were just not doing a really good job of finishing off games offensively.TRAINERS ROOMReds: RF Jay Bruce, left off the All-Star team, didnt start to rest assorted aches and pains. He pinch hit in the ninth and walked before being thrown out trying to steal second. Hes just beat up right now, manager Bryan Price said. Bruce took his All-Star snub in stride.
