Red Sox Lose to Reds, 8-7
Cincinnati beat Boston at Riverfront Stadium, eking out a 8-7 win. The win was due in large part to right fielder Matt Lawton, who earned player of the game honors. Cincinnati has now won 4 straight.

Lawton contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Cincinnati in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 5-2, Lawton took a fastball from Tom Gordon and stroked the home run to left. His 6th home run of the season allowed the Reds to leap in front, 6-5.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Cincinnati manager Eric Deutsch.
