Big Day at the Plate for Lopez Not Enough for Reds
The Cincinnati Reds got a sterling performance from catcher Javy Lopez, but the Yankees still prevailed, 9-7. Lopez was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Even with the win, the Yankees have a dismal 19-47 record.

It could have been a different outcome for New York, had it not been for Kazuhiro Kiyohara, the 29-year old first baseman . Kiyohara contributed a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put New York up, 6-5.

"We take it day by day here," said Kiyohara, "and today was a good one for us."
