Raiders Fall Short, 2-1, at Tennessee
In a tight game between the Tennessee Titans and the Oakland Raiders, pitcher Chris Waltz was terrific on the mound. The Tennessee left-hander helped his team to the 2-1 win. Oakland falls to 9-16.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Titans had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when right fielder Jimmy Lethco hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Kyle Patton and made the score 2-1, Titans. Lethco was 2 for 4 with a double.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Waltz. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."
