VIDEO: Alcantara's walk-off single, 1st hit of season leads Cubs past Reds

Better late than never. 

Arismendy Alcantara went over a week without picking up his first hit of the season, but corrected that in a big way Monday.

Manny Parra loaded the bases before Burke Badenhop was called on to clean up his mess. He retired two straight Cubs but was unable to bail the Reds out, as Alcantara busted an 0-for-16 start to the season with his first career walk-off hit.
