Clevinger (2-2) gave up three runs on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings in a 3-1 loss against Oakland on Wednesday. He struck out seven.
He was burned by a pair of long balls by A's shortstop Chad Pinder, which accounted for all the runs against Clevinger. The rookie also gave up two home runs in his last start after opening his career with four homer-free appearances, so it looks like the league's adjusting to him a little, but he's remaining quite effective nonetheless. However, it's worth exercising caution with Clevinger in his next start, which will come Tuesday in the hitting paradise known as Coors Field.
