Cincinnati used a superb performance from starting pitcher Mike Mussina to down the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-1. Cincinnati has now won 4 straight, while the Cardinals have lost 4 in a row.

Mussina dominated for Cincinnati, raising his record to 15-10. St. Louis hitters had few good at-bats against the right-hander, who scattered 3 hits over 9 innings while striking out 7.

"We had a nice day," said Cincinnati skipper John Frey.
