Athletics pitcher Jesse Chavez continued his fantastic start to the season in Wednesday's win, giving up just one hit and one walk in seven scoreless innings as his team rolled over the Rangers, 12-1.
Chavez (2-0) surrendered a first-inning single with two outs before striking out the next batter. He then erased a fourth-inning walk with a groundball double play. That was all the Rangers could muster against the Oakland starter. Chavez owns a 1.89 ERA and 41:8 K:BB ratio in 38 innings over six starts. He'll square off with the Mariners Tuesday.
