Victory Pushes Reds Record to 79-55
The Cincinnati Reds downed the New York Yankees, 7-2, at Yankee Stadium. Bobby Higginson led the way, going 4-for-4 for Cincinnati. Cincinnati starter Jose Rijo was credited with the win after throwing 126 pitches over 8 innings. His record now stands at 13-4. Cincinnati is now riding a 3-game win streak.

The tide might have turned with two out in the bottom of the fifth, had not Jose Rijo made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 3rd and the Yankees trailing 3-0, he retired Bobby Abreu, who flied out.
