Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Todd Frazier and Ryan Hanigan each had two hits and drove in a pair of runs to back another quality start by Johnny Cueto in the Reds' 5-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Cueto (17-6) allowed just two runs on four hits in seven innings to take over sole-possession of the MLB lead in wins. He has won eight of his last nine decisions.

Cincinnati's third win in four games has the club seven games up on the Cardinals in the NL Central race.

Arizona was hoping Wade Miley (14-9) could put the brakes on a four-game slide, but the rookie gave up three runs on six hits over seven innings to take the loss.

Gerardo Parra had two doubles, scored once and knocked in a run in defeat.
