Reds Bang Out 10-9 Win Versus St. Louis
The Cincinnati Reds defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-9. Earning player of the game honors was catcher Jorge Posada, who went 2 for 4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Reds now own a record of 70-50.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out in the top of the seventh inning. That's when catcher Dave Nilsson hit a run-scoring single. The Reds went on to win.

"We found a way to get it done," Nilsson said.
