Royals Lose to Reds in Walk Off
The Cincinnati Reds took Kansas City pitcher Kevin Brown's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Riverfront Stadium. The final score had Cincinnati getting past the Royals, 4-3. Brown went 8 innings and allowed 4 earned runs, striking out 8. Doug Henry got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. At 4-2, the Reds have played well so far.

Cincinnati took a 4-3 lead on Fernando Vina's 4th hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Vina hit in the bottom of the ninth, left Kansas City pitcher Kevin Rogers shaking his head.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Kansas City manager Daniel Drucker said following the tough loss.
