Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Oakland Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Pittsburgh got a valiant performance from pitcher Jim Reynolds, but it wasn't enough to beat the Oakland Athletics. Oakland won the game, 1-0. Reynolds threw 8.1 innings allowing 1 runs for the losing team. Andres Santiago, who went 6.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with no runs on 7 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 3-1. Jung-ho Chang earned his 10th save in 15 chances.

Joe Webster, the 27-year old third baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Webster contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Oakland up, 1-0.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Webster. "And not try to do too much."

The second-place Pirates have lost 4 straight games.
