Royals Fall Short at Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Reds picked up a win at Riverfront Stadium, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 4-3. Starting pitcher Mike Mussina was an essential part of his team's success. Todd Worrell picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 6-2. Kevin Tapani was tagged with the loss. Cincinnati is now 30-19, 2 games up in the Federal League East Division.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Eric Davis came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Kevin Tapani, he hit a 0-1 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cincinnati on top, 4-3.

"I found a nice groove out there," said Mussina.
