Mussina Now 11-6 After Subduing Red Sox
Cincinnati Reds starter Mike Mussina turned in a top-notch performance against the Boston Red Sox at Riverfront Stadium. The result was a win for the Reds, 6-2. The second-place Reds are now 50-30, the Red Sox 30-50.

Mussina, a native of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, was dealing all game. He kept Boston hitters off-balance, while giving the Reds 9 quality innings. Mussina threw 133 pitches, allowing 3 hits and striking out 10.

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