Starting pitcher Roy Oswalt was a major factor in the 4-1 Boston Red Sox triumph over the Cincinnati Reds. Oswalt yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 11. His record improves to 15-8. Jose Acevedo earned the save, his 32nd in 38 tries.

The Red Sox had to work out of trouble in the top of the sixth. The score was 2-0, Boston, with no one out. Cincinnati, with a runner on 1st, was mounting a threat. Adam Dunn dug in at the plate, but on a full count changeup, he struck out.

With the win over Cincinnati, the Red Sox improved to 78-71.
