CINCINNATI(AP) -- Alfonso Soriano led off the 14th inning with a home run and the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 on Sunday to win their weekend series.

Soriano hit Mike Lincoln's first pitch into the seats in right-center for his 14th homer of the season. He was 0 for 5 before the clutch drive.

Mike Fontenot added an RBI single off Lincoln (1-1) and Reed Johnson doubled in a run for the Cubs, who led 3-1 after six innings.

Rookie David Patton (2-1) pitched the 13th to get the win and Angel Guzman finished for his first career save. Patton got Brandon Phillips to line out to right with runners on first and second to end a Cincinnati threat.
