Athletics Take Tight Tilt
The Oakland Athletics managed to get by the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2, at Oakland Coliseum. Oakland pitcher Jamie Moyer took player of the game honors. The winning pitcher was Moyer, now 2-4. He tossed 8 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 5. Even with the win, the Athletics have a dismal 11-22 record.

The Athletics benefited from a costly error in the bottom of the fourth. With Greg Litton at bat and Oakland leading 2-1, the Baltimore miscue allowed Oakland to plate 1 and take the lead, 3-1.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Baltimore manager Daniel Ward said following the tough loss.
