Royals Fall Short at Cincinnati
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Cincinnati Reds got the win.

The Cincinnati Reds managed to get by the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, at Riverfront Stadium. Cincinnati pitcher Danny Jackson took player of the game honors. The Reds bumped their record to 67-49 with this latest triumph.

The game came to an abrupt end with two out in the bottom of the tenth. On a pitch from Gregg Olson, Bernie Williams hit a walk-off 2-run home run. It gave Cincinnati the 4-3 walk-off win.

Jackson called the win "a collective effort."
