Rijo Handcuffs Cardinals, Reds Seize 3-0 Advantage in CS
The Cincinnati Reds are one game away from a sweep after a 5-2 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals at Riverfront Stadium today. Reds right-hander Jose Rijo was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 8 innings of 6-hit ball. Cincinnati now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship.

Rijo delivered a quality start for Cincinnati. The 6' 2" right-hander allowed 2 runs on 6 hits over 8.1 innings of work.

"I really like what we did out there today," Rijo said after the game.

Game 4 is scheduled for tomorrow in Cincinnati. The scheduled starters for the game are Joe Johnson for St. Louis and Danny Jackson for Cincinnati.
