The Reds beat the Cubs split-squad 10-0.
Juan Francisco and Chris Heisey drove in two runs each. Zack Cozart hit a home run.
Edgar Renteria played secondbase, his first start at that position. He had two hits. Paul Janish, who will start the season as Cincinnati's starting shortstop followed Renteria with two singles both on the hit and run.
Johnny Cueto looked sharp in three scoreless innings and allowed an infield single and Reds pitchers' first walk in 11 1/3 innings.
"We got good pitching. We had no errors and timely hitting," Dusty Baker said. "The most important thing is we got all the young guys in the game. We wanted to give them a chance to play. We have to make some decisions on who to keep and who to send out, shortly."
Cozart is playing well but will likely start the season at Louisville. "He's looking very good," Baker said in his 8 am meeting before the game. The Reds will have a prospect at every position at Louisville.
