Alou Helps Arizona Cruise to 11-0 Win
Spirited fans at Oakland Coliseum greeted the Oakland Athletics for their clash with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Moises Alou was instrumental in his team's 11-0 triumph over the Oakland Athletics. The left fielder was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona reliever Marvin Freeman was credited with the win, to go to 8-4. Matt Morris took the loss for Oakland.

Lance Blankenship contributed a productive at-bat in the top of the third. With the bases loaded, he grounded out, driving in 1 run. It was one at-bat that propelled Arizona to the win.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Blankenship told the Arizona Herald. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."

The Diamondbacks bumped their record to 63-62 with this latest triumph.
