(The Sports Xchange) - Oakland's Pat Venditte took a piece of history away from his first Major League victory Sunday.
The switch pitcher threw two scoreless innings in the Athletics' 7-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday at Chase Field, benefiting when shortstop Marcus Semien's two-run single broke a tie with two outs in the 11th inning.
"To get this first one was very special," Venditte said. "I'm sure it will sink in somewhere on that flight now, but right now we are just happy to get that win today.
