Cincinnati Gets 6-2 Win
Cincinnati Reds starter Doug Rau was in fine form against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium 1962, leading his team to a win, 6-2. Rau, now 11-10, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 4, walking 4, and allowing 2 runs. The Reds lead the National League West Division by 3½ games.

Cincinnati relied on the bat of Bill Melton to get the win. The third baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Reds ahead, 3-0. For the game, Melton had 2 doubles and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Rau attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
