Rijo Hurls Complete Game at Riverfront Stadium
In a low-scoring game between Cincinnati and Florida, pitcher Jose Rijo was excellent. The Cincinnati right-hander was named the player of the game in Cincinnati's 3-1 win. Cincinnati, now 2-1, has gotten their season off to a good start.

The Marlins had trouble solving Rijo, who surrendered 1 earned run on 3 hits over 9 innings.

Rijo attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
