Reds Win at Cleveland, 7-2
Spirited fans at League Park greeted the Cleveland Spiders for their clash with the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds got a strong performance from pitcher Joey Hamilton, who stymied the Cleveland offense en route to a 7-2 win at League Park. Hamilton picked up the win for Cincinnati, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 10-10.

Cincinnati used the bat of Tino Martinez to get the win. The first baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Reds ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We'll savor this win," Martinez told the Cincinnati News, "then get ready for the next game."

Cincinnati has now won 4 straight.
