Oxenden Shines, Shuts Out Cleveland, 7-0
John Oxenden was in a mood to talk following the Pittsburgh Oilers contest against the Cleveland Athletics, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Athletics, 7-0.

"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Oxenden said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."

The right-hander blanked Cleveland on a 7-hitter, allowing 1 walk and racking up 1 strikeout.

This year, Oxenden has worked 56.2 innings with 15 strikeouts en route to a 5-4 record and 2.22 ERA.
