CHICAGO - Sammy Sosa is the Cubs' career home run leader. Greg Maddux is still looking for his first win since returning to Chicago.
Adam Dunn hit two homers, and Juan Castro had a two-run triple in the 10th inning that sent the Cincinnati Reds to an 11-10 victory over the Cubs on Sunday, another wild and wacky day at Wrigley Field.
It was windy
no question Maddux said. It was tough. It was probably tougher on the outfielders and even the infielders than anybody. It was blowing pretty good.
Maddux gave up three homers in six innings, failing for the third time to get his first win with the Cubs since 1992.
Sosa homered twice and passed Ernie Banks for the Cubs' record, but also lost a fly ball in the sun in the 10th that sparked the Reds' winning rally.
It's certainly not been the return Maddux envisioned. He's been hit hard - by batters and the weather - in both of his home starts.
In his first Wrigley Field appearance last Monday, he was knocked out after 3 2-3 innings by Pittsburgh on a cold day.
On Sunday, the wind was gusting out of the park at 30 mph. Maddux took an 0-2 record into the game and emerged with a no-decision after giving up eight hits and seven runs. His ERA is 8.62.
Dunn hit a three-run shot in the first off Maddux, who also allowed homers to Ryan Freel and Austin Kearns.
