Musgrove (3-4) struck out seven while allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in Wednesday's win over Texas.
The rookie really had the powerful Texas offense off balance until Nomar Mazara got him for a two-run homer in the top of the seventh. That hurt Musgrove's final line, but he still delivered his second straight quality start -- hard to complain after he didn't even finish six frames in a four-start streak prior to these two outings. He'll draw the A's next week; the 23-year-old held them scoreless over 5.1 frames on Aug. 29.
