Ralph Kiner cracked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates
defeated the Cincinnati Reds by the score of 7 to 3 at Crosley Field.

Kiner propelled Pittsburgh to victory.  He belted a three-run homer in the 1st
inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 3rd inning, laced a
base-hit in the 5th inning and laced a single in the 7th inning.  Pittsburgh
had 12 hits for the afternoon while Cincinnati had 6.  

The victory went to Ruben Gomez(3-1) who went 7 innings, allowing 1 run. Paul
Minner(1-4) took the loss.  'Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable at the
plate today' Kiner said after the game.  'Despite that, I'm happy with the
results!
