Parra Shines in 10-4 Cincinnati Win
The Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 10-4. Cincinnati right fielder José Parra deserved the lion's share of the credit. Parra went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 4 times and driving in 2 for the Reds. The winning pitcher was Bert Gooderston. He tossed 103 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 2 hits. The win gives Cincinnati a season record of 27-25.

Early in the game, Parra had a 2-run home run for Cincinnati. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Reds on top, 2-0.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Parra.
