CINCINNATI_Billy Hamilton rattled a ball in the right field on Jhoulys Chacin's third offering. Zack Cozart walked on his eighth. Joey Votto pulled his ninth into right field, the Reds' lineup functioning just like they drew it up.
Later, they flexed their muscles.
In an 11-3 loss, Chacin trailed from the get-go Monday night at Great American Ball Park. Votto added his third homer in three days two innings after his run-scoring single, Adam Duvall and Zack Cozart contributed their own two-run shots and Patrick Kivlehan hit an eighth-inning grand slam to waste Jose Pirela's first multi-homer game as the Padres lost for the third time in four days to start a 10-game trip.
Chacin allowed five runs on five hits and three walks in six innings.
The line could have looked a lot messier had Chacin not bared down after allowing the first three Reds to reach.
He punched out two of the next three hitters after Votto's run-scoring single to leave runners on the corners in the first inning.
Cozart's two-out single in the third set up Votto's homer two-run homer. Votto drew a two-out walk ahead of Duvall's two-run homer and rookie left-hander Kyle McGrath walked a batter before Cozart's two-run homer opened a 7-2 lead.
Kivlehan hit Phil Maton's first pitch in the eighth for a grand slam, cashing in three base-runners allowed by Carter Capps in his first big league appearance since Aug. 2, 2015.
Capps allowed a double, walked two and recorded two outs with his 28 pitches (13 strikes).
Cincinnati's pitching shut down the Padres outside Pirela's two home runs.
After the first nine batters retired in order by starter Tim Adleman (4 2/3 IP, 2 ER), Manuel Margot was the first of four straight Padres to reach base.
But he was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple, only two runs scored on Pirela's home run off the facade of the second deck in left and no one was on base when he added another to right field in the seventh.
Four Reds relievers limited the Padres to two hits over 4 1/3 innings after Adleman's exit.
