Reds Stumble, Lose to Red Sox
Behind the bravura of shortstop Tony Fernandez, the Boston Red Sox topped the Cincinnati Reds by the score of 8-3. Fernandez was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs for the Red Sox. Calvin Schiraldi picked up the save, his 1st. The Reds fall to 4-5 and continue their wobbly start to the 1998 season.

The Red Sox got a big at-bat from center fielder Oddibe McDowell. For the game, McDowell was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Boston a 2-1 lead.

Fernandez told a Boston Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
