Royals Sunk by Aztecs
The Mexico City Aztecs faced a tough opponent in Cincinnati pitcher Josh Oakman, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Gran Estadio Azteca by a final score of 2-1. Oakman went 7.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. Nick Calvache was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Josh Oakman. Jeff Cox earned his 12th save, after closing out the game.

Tobias Rivera drove in one run for Mexico City. The 26-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Josh Oakman. It was his 35th RBI of the season.

"I was a little disappointed," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

The current losing streak for Cincinnati has reached 4 games.
