Reds Game Report
Reds 5, Blue Jays 4
• THE ARMS: Scott Sullivan looked sharp in his pair of shutout innings. But Scott Williamson (5.40 ERA) struggled again, yielding three hits and allowing Toronto to tie the score in the ninth.
• THE BATS: Ken Griffey Jr., hitting .400 in his last six games (8-for-20), had a pair of run-scoring hits, a double and a single. Pinch-hitters Aaron Boone and Kimera Bartee also sparkled. Boone's single gave Cincinnati a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning and Bartee broke a 4-4 tie in the ninth with his one-out single off Eric Gunderson. It scored Benito Santiago, who had doubled.
• THE REST: Often criticized for his defense, left fielder Dmitri Young was involved in an eighth-inning double play when his throw to third base nailed Raul Mondesi, who was trying to advance on a fly ball. Pokey Reese made the baserunning play of the day, sliding to beat Mondesi's strong sixth-inning throw home after Griffey singled.
• UP NEXT: 1:05 p.m. today against Tampa Bay. Denny Neagle will oppose Devil Rays right-hander Ryan Rupe.
