Ritz Hands Arizona 4-1 Loss
Kevin Ritz, who finished 4th in the AL in strikeouts with 174 in 1999, never let the Diamondbacks get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Yankees to a win, 4-1. The Yankees improved to 35-32.

Ritz earned the win, going 8 strong innings for New York (A). The right-hander allowed just 3 hits, while striking out 7. Arizona hitters had little success against him.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Ritz. "It sure beats the alternative."
