(Cincinnati, OH) - Tyler Naquin hit two home runs and Vladimir Gutierrez scattered three hits in seven innings in Cincinnati's 3-1 win over Miami. 

Mike Moustakas' solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning broke a 1-1 tie before Naquin's second home run gave the Reds an insurance run in the eighth.

Gutierrez earned his ninth win of the season, and Michael Lorenzen tossed a scoreless ninth for his third save. 

The four-game sweep gives Cincinnati a one-game lead over San Diego for the final NL Wild Card spot ahead of their series in Milwaukee that starts Tuesday.
