The Astros defeat the Reds, 10 – 1, in a game marked by a bench-clearing brawl that will lead to suspensions for Xavier Hernandez (8 games), Doug Drabek (5), Pat Borders (5), Ron Gant (4), Davey Johnson (2), and Terry Collins (2). Intentional walks backfire twice for Cincy. Ahead 1 – 0, they walk Jeff Bagwell in the 3rd (with Craig Biggio on second base and one out) and Mike Simms homers. Undeterred, the Reds give a free pass to pinch-hitter Dave Magadan in the 7th (with men on second and third base and one out) and the score just 4 – 1. Derrick May then hits a grand slam.
