CHICAGO -- Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker was to remain in a Chicago hospital overnight Wednesday because of an irregular heartbeat, according to multiple reports.

Baker, 63, complained of a heavy chest before Wednesday night's game against the Cubs.

A spokesman for the Reds said Baker left Wrigley Field in street clothes more than two hours before the first pitch to get chest X-rays to "rule out pneumonia."

Team trainer Paul Lessard told Fox Sports Ohio that doctors ruled out pneumonia but determined that Baker had an irregular heartbeat. Lessard added that Baker did not have a heart attack.

According to the Cincinnati Inquirer, Baker will have more tests Thursday and will not be available to manage the Reds' game, the team said.

Bench coach Chris Speier brought the lineup card to home plate prior to Wednesday's game.

Cincinnati beat the Cubs 6-5 in 11 innings to lower its magic number to clinch a playoff spot to one with the Los Angeles Dodgers splitting a doubleheader at Washington. The Reds' magic number for a second NL Central title in three years is three.

On Tuesday night, Baker won his 3,000th game as a big league manager after a 3-1 victory over Cubs.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
