Reds Beat Visiting Creams, 7-3
Cincinnati starter Jose Rijo had a strong outing against the Milwaukee Creams at Riverfront Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 7-3 win. At 58-46, the Reds are currently second in the Federal League East Division.

The Reds got a big at-bat from right fielder Bernie Williams. For the game, Williams was 2-5 with 2 doubles. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 28th double of the season gave Cincinnati a 2-1 lead.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Rijo said.
