Cesar Cedeno hit a single, double, triple and homer and drove in four Astros' runs in a 10-1 victory over the Reds. Cedeno's double was wasted, but he homered with a man on base in the third inning, batted in a run with a single in the fifth and added the other RBI with a triple in the seventh. Lee May also homered for the Astros, while Denis Menke accounted for the Reds' run with a round-tripper.
