Red Sox Take Tight Tilt, 3-2
Despite a fine performance by left fielder Bobby Higginson, the Cincinnati Reds suffered a 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Higginson slugged 2 home runs. Roger Salkeld, the winner, improved to 3-0. He held the Reds to 2 earned runs on 6 hits over 7.1 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 3. Earning his 1st save of the year was Roger McDowell.

Raul Casanova's at-bat in the bottom of the second was significant for the Red Sox. Coming to the plate with runners on 1st and 2nd and Boston trailing 1-0, the catcher hit a run-scoring single.

"There are no moral victories," said losing manager John Frey.

At 8-4, the Red Sox have played well so far.
