Oakland Buries Cleveland, 16-3
The Oakland Raiders stormed past the Cleveland Browns, 16-3, at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Oakland first basemanMike Short , who is tied for 3rd in the ABC with a .426 batting average, led the hit parade. He was 4-4 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. The winning pitcher was Will Ritchey. His record now stands at 3-1. The left-hander went 5.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits for the Raiders. The Browns are now 5-10 this season.

Oakland used a clutch at-bat from Chris Shaver to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Raiders ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Sometimes, the runs just come in bunches," said winning manager Chris Allen.
