  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E

Cincinnati Reds (29-19) 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 3 13 1
Royals Turn Back Cincinnati, 4-3
Cincinnati pitcher Jose Rijo gave the Royals all they could handle, but in the end, Kansas City left Riverfront Stadium with a 4-3 win. Rijo allowed 3 earned runs on 6 hits over 7.1 innings. The save went to Mike Stanton, his 12th this season. The Royals own a robust 33-15 mark.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for John Olerud, the three-time Gold Glove winner . Olerud contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Kansas City up, 4-3.

"Both teams played hard," said Kansas City manager Daniel Drucker.
