Graveman threw seven strong innings in Friday's start versus the Angels, allowing just one run with four strikeouts and one walk. He did not factor into the decision.
The righty lasted just four innings in his previous start, and he responded by completing seven innings for the first time this season, with the only blemish coming in the form of a C.J. Cron solo home run in the third inning. Unfortunately, the Athletics offense was typically ineffective and left it late before plating the winning run in a low-scoring affair, quashing Graveman's chance at earning a victory. The encouraging outing lowered his ERA to 4.87, and he will look for a repeat performance versus the Angels again on Thursday.
