CINCINNATI - Not even four Cubs homers were enough for Kerry Wood in a city where he's never lost.

Reds Rally to Nip Cubs 7-6; Willis Wins but Streak Ends

Derrek Lee hit the longest of the Cubs' four homers, a shot that bounced off the batter's eye and out of the ballpark, as Chicago went up 5-1 after three innings. In the past, that would have been a sure thing for Wood, who is 10-0 in 12 career starts in Cincinnati.

Rich Aurilia's broken-bat, two-run single off Wood tied it in the sixth and left him with no-decision. An often-used bullpen then let it slip away.
