Diamondbacks Subdue Oakland, 6-5
Despite a fine performance by third baseman Herbert Perry, the Oakland Athletics suffered a 6-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Perry went 3-4 with 2 doubles, while scoring 3 runs. The defending champion Diamondbacks have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 7-8 with the win.

Arizona used the bat of Robin Ventura to capture the win. The third baseman jacked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Diamondbacks ahead, 6-3. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Ventura said after the game.
