Ritchey, Raiders Notch Nifty 3-1 Win Over Pittsburgh
Oakland got a first-rate effort from pitcher Will Ritchey, who frustrated Pittsburgh hitters en route to a 3-1 Raiders triumph at Oakland Coliseum. Jose Vazquez picked up the save, his 2nd. The Raiders move to 20-25 with the win, while the Steelers drop to 15-30.

Ritchey gave Oakland a first-rate performance. The 6-foot-2 left-hander permitted 1 run on 3 hits over 8 innings of work.

"I got in a good groove," said Ritchey. "I was getting some swings and misses."
