Loss to Reds Extends Pittsburgh Losing Streak
The Cincinnati Reds got a stellar performance from pitcher Mike Mussina, who handcuffed the Pittsburgh offense en route to a 5-2 win at Three Rivers Stadium. Mussina went the distance for Cincinnati. He gave up 2 earned runs on 8 hits. Cincinnati has now won 5 games in a row.

Cincinnati needed the clutch hitting of Jose Offerman to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Reds on top, 4-2. For the game, Offerman had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"That's the key at this level, throwing strike one," said Mussina. "Successful pitchers do it."
