The Cincinnati Reds downed the Orlando Devil Rays, 9-4, at Orlando Citrus Bowl. Omar Vizquel led the way, going 2-for-4 for Cincinnati. The Devil Rays, now 59-55, have lost 4 straight.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Reds had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the top of the fifth, when third baseman Scott Rolen hit a 3-run home run. The home run came off Eric King and made the score 6-2, Reds. Rolen was 1 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Vizquel.
