The Cincinnati Reds swept Chicago Cubs on Sunday, beating them 1-0 and winning their fifth straight games. They used an RBI double from Gavin Lux and a brilliant performance from the pitching staff to secure a victory.

Williams: Sunday has to be one of the weirdest days in Cincinnati sports history. Equal parts depressing (Bengals) and exhilarating (Reds). Now what?

The series finale between the Cubs and Reds is set to begin in a rain delay. The rain had yet to begin when the 12:40 p.m. CT original start time passed, but it loomed in the forecast. The new first pitch is scheduled for 1:50 p.m. CT, the teams announced.

The Reds have won the first three games of the series and have won four straight games overall. With the New York Mets losing to the Washington Nationals on Saturday, Cincinnati moved within one game of the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

If the Reds make the playoffs, Hunter Greene (7-4, 2.74) is in line to make his postseason debut in Game 1, likely at Dodger Stadium.

It started off as a joke. During the dog days of summer, Levi Jordan had a stretch of games for Louisville, the Reds' Triple-A affiliate, in which he played across the diamond. Second base and shortstop in the same game twice.

The Cubs had runners on first and second with two outs in the ninth against Tony Santillan, who struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong for his 7th save of the season.

Cincinnati Reds minor leaguer Levi Jordan is expected to attempt to play all nine positions in Sunday's season finale for the Louisville Bats. He is starting at third base. Jordan is scheduled to play all nine positions for Louisville in today's game against Nashville.
