Mussina Cruises in Win Over Twins
Cincinnati beat Minnesota on the strength of starter Mike Mussina's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 11-2 win. Cincinnati has 3 straight wins, Minnesota 3 straight losses.

The Twins had trouble solving Mussina, who surrendered 2 earned runs on 5 hits over 9 innings.

"I just made my pitches," said Mussina, "and the ball kept missing the bat."
