Dodgers Top Reds, 8-5
Raul Romero did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Cincinnati Reds from being beaten, 8-5, to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Great American Ball Park. Romero went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Francisco Rodriguez picked up his 7th save of the season. With the victory, the Dodgers record stands at 46-62.

Los Angeles needed the clutch hitting of Daniel Fornes to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dodgers on top, 7-5. For the game, Fornes had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Fornes told a Los Angeles Chronicle reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
