Michael Conforto's walk-off solo home run capped a two-run, ninth-inning rally and sent the Cubs to a 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds on a rainy Monday night in Chicago.

Conforto, pinch-hitting for Matt Shaw, hammered a 3-2 fastball from Reds closer Emilio Pagan (2-1) into the seats in left-center field, giving the National League Central-leading Cubs their sixth straight win.

Pete Crow-Armstrong opened the bottom of the ninth with a triple off the glove of Reds center fielder Dane Myers, who appeared to have the ball in his glove as he collided with the Wrigley Field's ivy and brick wall. The ball fell to the ground and Crow-Armstrong raced to third base.

Pagan struck out Dansby Swanson, but Nico Hoerner hit a deep fly ball to left field for a game-tying sacrifice fly. Conforto then ended the game.

Ryan Rolison (2-0) struck out all three batters he faced in the top of the ninth.

Elly De La Cruz had three hits and Spencer Steer had two for the Reds, who lost their fourth straight game.

Steer drove in pinch runner Blake Dunn with a tiebreaking run in the top of the eighth for a 4-3 Reds lead.

Cincinnati's Ke'Bryan Hayes hit a two-run home run and JJ Bleday socked a solo homer in a game that was delayed 100 minutes due to inclement weather. Those blasts put the Reds up 3-0 through the top of the fourth.

The Cubs tied the contest with one swing in the bottom of the fourth when Seiya Suzuki (2-for-3) took Reds starter Chase Petty deep over the wall in center field for a three-run shot.

In the eighth, Nathaniel Lowe drew a leadoff walk off Cubs reliever Ben Brown. Dunn pinch-ran and stole second base before Steer singled to left field. Dunn beat the throw home, getting his right hand on home plate just before being tagged.

The Cubs loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth against Reds reliever Graham Ashcraft on three walks, one of them intentional walk. Ashcraft struck out Carson Kelly swinging to escape the jam.
