Johnson Dominant in Cincinnati Win
Cincinnati played host to Cleveland at the friendly confines of Riverfront Stadium.

Randy Johnson never let the Spiders get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Reds to a 6-1 win. Cleveland, at 44-89, has lost 9 straight.

Johnson, a native of Walnut Creek, California, was dealing all game. He kept Cleveland hitters off-balance, while giving the Reds 9 quality innings. Johnson threw 137 pitches, allowing 3 hits and striking out 8.

"We looked pretty good up and down," said Cincinnati manager John Frey.
