Athletics starter Kendall Graveman was unable to make an early 3-1 lead stand up, as the Orioles beat the A's 7-3 in extra innings on Wednesday. Graveman allowed three runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three, throwing 79 pitches with 49 strikes.
Graveman put the A's down first, as he allowed a run in the top of the third. But the A's tied the game in the bottom half, and grabbed the lead with a two-run third inning. Graveman proceeded to give up a pair of RBI singles in the sixth however. He did not factor in the final decision.
The young right-hander has seen some uneven results recently. In his past six starts, he has two outings with no earned runs, and four others with three or more, including Wednesday. He is 1-3 with a 4.84 ERA over that stretch.
