Athletics pitcher Jesse Chavez tossed eight scoreless innings on Saturday in Oakland's 3-0 win over the Yankees. Chavez recorded six strikeouts with no walks on 110 pitches in his outing. Chavez put runners on first and second in the first two innings, but managed to work out of both james using his full arsenal of pitches.
Chavez, now 2-5, moved his ERA to 2.11 in 59 2/3 innings of work this season. He will look to keep things rolling on Friday against the Red Sox.
