Cincinnati catcher Javy Lopez had a good game, even if his team did not. The Reds dropped a 5-4 decision to Kansas City at Royals Stadium. Lopez was 3-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Steve Woodard earned the win to go to 3-2. He allowed 4 earned runs on 6 hits, with 2 walks and 9 strikeouts. The Royals improve their record to 21-12 with the win over Cincinnati.

Kansas City took a 5-4 lead on Reggie L. Sanders's 3rd home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Cincinnati pitcher Arthur Rhodes in the bottom of the eighth.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Cincinnati manager Eric Deutsch.
