Making his second appearance since being called back up to the majors, Blake Parker earned the win in the Cubs' 6-4 12-inning victory over the Reds Thursday.

The former Razorback tossed scoreless innings in the 11th and 12th while allowing only one hit. He struck out three of the seven batters he faced.

Parker struggled in one inning of work Monday against the Reds, allowing three earned runs on two hits and two walks.
