Righetti saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Blake Thayer, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Righetti has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-10 record this season.
