Graveman didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Rangers, giving up four earned runs on nine hits, a walk and two wild pitches over 6.2 innings. He struck out two.
Graveman fired his highest number of pitches (99) since throwing 104 in his opening start of the season and got into the seventh for the second straight start. However, the 26-year-old blew his opportunity for his third win of the season when he gave up an RBI infield single to Delino DeShields, then reliever Ryan Madson allowed the latter to score by surrendering a double to Elvis Andrus. Graveman has been solid overall this season, including encouragingly inducing double-digit groundballs in his last two starts, but he hasn't notched a victory since April 8. He'll try again for his third win in a home start versus the Red Sox on Friday.
