Athletics Roll Over Diamondbacks, 9-4
Starting pitcher Matt Morris pitched well enough to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 9-4. Morris, now 9-5, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 4 earned runs. Their 27-45 record puts the Athletics last in the United League West Division.

Billy Ripken contributed an important at-bat in the top of the first. With the bases loaded, he hit a bases-clearing double. It was one at-bat that helped send Oakland to the win.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Morris. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
