Devil Rays Lose, 5-2, at Riverfront Stadium
The Cincinnati Reds topped the Orlando Devil Rays by the score of 5-2, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Bobby Higginson. Higginson was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Reds. The second-place Reds have won 5 straight.

Fernando Vina, who led the FL in batting average with .320 in 1995, aided the Cincinnati cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the second. For the game, the second baseman went 1 for 3 with 2 walks.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Reds manager John Frey, "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."
