Cincinnati right-hander Mike Mussina pitched his team to victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The final score was 7-4. With the win, Cincinnati pushes its record to 3-3.

Cincinnati relied on the bat of Bobby Higginson to get the win. The left fielder ripped a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Reds ahead, 7-4. For the game, Higginson had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Higginson told reporters after the game.
