Rijo Hurls Reds to Shutout Victory
Before the game, Jose Rijo said he liked his chances. His instincts proved to be right. In a superb outing at League Park, the Reds pitcher whitewashed the Cleveland Spiders 4-0.

"I just had a feeling it was going to be my day," Rijo said in the clubhouse afterward. "My control was awesome. I could throw my fastball even when I was behind in the count."

The Cincinnati starter held Cleveland scoreless, giving up 2 hits while registering 5 strikeouts and issuing 4 walks.

"We didn't have very many good at-bats," Spiders manager said in his postgame interview. "When that happens, you usually lose."

Currently Rijo has a record of 7-5 with 81 strikeouts and 30 walks in 97.2 innings and a 4.52 ERA.
