Broncos Pick Up 4-2 Win Against Cincinnati
The Denver Broncos rode a solid performance from 28-year-old starting pitcher Chris Sims to a win, beating the Cincinnati Bengals, 4-2, at Paul Brown Stadium. Earning his 1st save for Denver was Manny Genaro. The second-place Broncos have won 4 in a row.

There was more than one reason the Broncos beat the Bengals, but Sims's big at-bat in the top of the fourth was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-1 lead when he hit a run-scoring single.

"I executed the game plan," said Sims.
