Reds Beat Red Sox in 10
Fans at Fenway Park got more than they bargained for.

The Cincinnati Reds got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher Jose Rijo, but it was good enough for the club to take a 9-3 decision over the Boston Red Sox. Cincinnati reliever Arthur Rhodes was credited with the win, to go to 3-4. Joe Borowski took the loss for Boston.

The Reds got a lift from shortstop Miguel Cairo, who in the top of the tenth hit a 2-run single. His 27th hit of the season put the Reds on top, 6-3.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Rijo told the Cincinnati News.

Cincinnati has now reeled off 6 straight wins.
