Graveman (6-6) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts over seven innings in a win Monday over the Astros.
Graveman now has three straight quality starts for the first time all season. The home run he allowed was his first in five starts as he is finally starting to avoid the big mistake that plagued him for the first two months of the season. Graveman allowed 12 home runs in his first 13 starts, a big reason why he opened the season with a 4.87 ERA. Since then, he owns a sharp 2.97 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, although his 4.0 K/9 in that stretch suggests this level of performance might not be sustainable.
