Williams goes 3-for-4 to Pull Reds to .500
A 3-RBI performance from Bernie Williams, who is a four-time Gold Glove winner, helped the Cincinnati Reds beat the Boston Red Sox, 10-4. The Red Sox fall to 5-9 and continue their lackluster start to the 1997 season.

Cincinnati took advantage of an error in the top of the first inning. The game was tied, 0-0, when Fred McGriff hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Cincinnati in front, 2-0.

"We played hard and won," said Williams. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
