Here is a cool box score from the past to hopefully take your mind off last night's frustrating loss.

Mario Soto started and went six strong before getting into trouble in the seventh. Then the kid they got from Oakland for Dave Parker came in and pitched well for the fourth day in a row.

Everybody in the lineup (besides the pitchers) got at least one hit and Kal Daniels continues to bat over .400 early in the season.

From the New York Times/AP wrap-up twenty years ago:

HOUSTON (AP) - Eric Davis's tiebreaking double highlighted a five-run eighth inning that lifted Cincinnati to the victory.

With Houston leading, 2-1, the pinch-hitter Leo Garcia doubled off a reliever, Ernie Camacho (0-1), to start the eighth. Garcia then scored the tying run on Barry Larkin's single.

After a sacrifice, Kal Daniels was intentionally walked and Davis doubled to the left field wall for the go-ahead run.

Daniels, who went to third base on Davis's double, scored on Camacho's balk, and Davis scored on a single by Tracy Jones, making it 5-2. Jones stole second and scored the fifth run of the inning on a single by Nick Esasky off a reliever, Larry Andersen.

Jose Rijo (3-1), who has been the winning pitcher in all three of Houston's losses this season, got credit for the victory when the only batter he faced, Rafael Ramirez, hit into a double play to end the seventh.
