Higginson, Reds Too Much for Red Sox
The exploits of right fielder Bobby Higginson, who is tied for 7th in the FL in triples with 7, helped the Cincinnati Reds defeat the Boston Red Sox, 5-2. Higginson went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Joey Hamilton picked up the win with 7 innings of work. He allowed 2 earned runs on 6 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 9. On the season, he is now 11-10. Doug Henry notched his 9th save in 11 chances.

With Cincinnati leading 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Higginson hit a fastball from Mark Thompson for a solo home run. It was his 25th home run of the season and put the Reds ahead, 2-0.

"If it's down the middle," said Higginson, "you might as well hit it."

Cincinnati is now 93-69.
