CINCINNATI — Cody Bellinger and Eric Hosmer’s bats have been hot since snapping their mini hitless streaks to start the season. But Miles Mastobuoni’s first hit as a Cub was the one that kept coming up after the team’s blowout win Tuesday against the Reds. 

“He hit rockets early on and had nothing to show for it,” manager David Ross said.
