Getting his first shutout of the season, Paul Moskau pitched a four-hitter as the Reds routed the Braves, 10-0. The Reds clinched the game with a five-run outburst in the sixth inning. A bases-loaded double by Moskau was the big blow. A double by Ken Griffey brought home the third run, another scored on an infield out and the fifth tally of the frame counted on a sacrifice fly by Dan Driessen. [The Sporting News]
