CHICAGO -- Cincinnati came to Wrigley Field with a 1-9 record against the Chicago Cubs.Three days later, the Reds left with confidence and some vindication.Tucker Barnhart hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Trevor Cahill in the seventh inning, and the Reds beat Chicago 5-3 Wednesday to take two of three games.No one should be beaten on a major league team the way they beat us, Reds manager Bryan Price said of Chicagos recent dominance.Chicago led 3-1 when Brandon Phillips and Jose Peraza hit consecutive one-out singles against Cahill (1-3), and Barnhart sent a 2-2 sinker into the basket in center field for his third home run this year. It was Barnharts seventh career home run, and his first with runners on base.I was battling as bad as I have in a while, just trying to get my foot down and kind of flick something to the outfield and got a fastball out over the plate, the 25-year-old Barnhart said. That was probably the last pitch I thought was going to come there, and just kind of reacted to it.A day after having seven players selected for next weeks All-Star Game, the Cubs lost for the 12th time in 17 games.I cant connect a bunch of negative dots. It just happened, said manager Joe Maddon, who believes this poor stretch is more a snapshot than a sign of bigger problems. Im not really that concerned, he said.Zack Cozart homered for the third straight game, starting Cincinnatis offense with his eighth career leadoff homer.The Reds lone All-Star, Adam Duvall, walked and scored on Carl Edwards Jr.s wild pitch in the eighth and Phillips went 3 for 4 as the Reds improved to 3-10 against their division rivals.Anthony DeSclafani (3-0) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings, struck out six and walked none. Michael Lorenzen pitched two hitless innings, and Tony Cingrani got three straight outs for his 10th save in 15 chances.We should be more competitive against everybody, I think, once we get our pitching into good shape, Price said. I think were closer.Adam Warren was called up from Triple-A Iowa to give the Chicago rotation extra rest with a spot start, and he allowed three hits in five innings, retiring his final 11 batters.Russell hit an RBI double in the second and scored on Miguel Monteros single, and Ben Zobrists fifth-inning homer gave the Cubs a 3-1 lead.The last-place Reds, though, werent finished and beat the Cubs on consecutive days at Wrigley for the first time since 2013.Good to see Brandon get those three hits and Barney come up with the big blow, Price said. Those guys were really the driving force to our offense.TRAINERS ROOMReds: RF Jay Bruce, left off the All-Star team, didnt start to rest assorted aches and pains. He pinch hit in the ninth and walked before being thrown out trying to steal second. Hes just beat up right now, Price said. Bruce took his All-Star snub in stride. Im not the first guy to be left off and Im not going to be the last, he said.Cubs: CF Dexter Fowlers first All-Star Game is uncertain as he recovers from a strained right hamstring. Maddon said the team will decide in the next few days whether Fowler is ready for a minor league rehab assignment. ...

BARCELONA, Spain -- Lionel Messi is ready to make his return for Barcelona. Probably.The Argentina forward has been out for three weeks with a right groin strain, but Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said Friday that Messi could play against Deportivo La Coruna at Camp Nou on Saturday.I never give clues to opposing coaches, said Luis Enrique, who will announce his squad on the day of the match.In the case of Leo, he has been training with us since Wednesday, the coach said. Its clear that since he is coming back from injury he needs minutes both in training and in games. Tomorrow I will talk with him, but he is available.After the match against Deportivo, Barcelona will host Manchester City in the Champions League -- a game in which the Spanish team will face former coach Pep Guardiola.Barcelona has only won one of three league matches since Messi went down in the second half against Atletico Madrid on Sept. 21. Atletico rallied to draw 1-1, Barcelona routed Sporting Gijon 5-0 and lost at Celta Vigo 4-3 with Messi out.Those stumbles left Barcelona in fourth place, two points behind leaders Atlettico Madrid and Real Madrid, before last weeks international break.dddddddddddd Atletico, which leads the league on goal difference, will next face Granada. Madrid visits Real Betis.Deportivo has yet to win away from home this season, but the Galician side has managed the impressive feat of earning a pair of 2-2 draws in its last two league visits to Barcelona.Lucas Perez, now at Arsenal, scored for Deportivo in both of those matches to spark comebacks from two goals down. With Perez gone, Deportivo may turn to new signing Ryan Babel to spark its lethargic attack. The former Liverpool player scored Deportivos late winner in its last match.I think Deportivo got extremely lucky in the last two games here, Luis Enrique said, insisting he didnt want his players looking toward the match against City.There is only one match for us, the one against Deportivo, he added. We want to win to recover points quickly. Thinking about a match that is coming next week is a mistake.
