Mengden had an excellent outing on Monday night against the Giants, allowing four hits and two runs over 7.2 innings to earn his first career win.
Mengden was throwing a shutout through seven innings, but allowed two runs in the eighth before being lifted for a reliever. He has now made four starts with the A's and has yet to allow more than three runs in any of the outings while striking out over a batter per inning. Mengden's solid start has solidified his spot in the A's rotation and he is next scheduled to take the hill on Sunday against the Pirates.
