Rijo Finishes Off Cubs
The Cincinnati Reds knocked off the Chicago Cubs, 4-2. Cincinnati starter Jose Rijo pitched well enough to earn top player honors. The Reds, now 27-22, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

Rijo scattered 4 hits over 9 innings for the Reds. With the win, Rijo moves to 4-2 on the year with 72 strikeouts.

"I'd like to pitch a complete game every time," said Rijo.
