A's Kendall Graveman turns rare unassisted double play for pitcher

There was a 2-for-1 special for Oakland Athletics pitcher Kendall Graveman on Thursday night.

Graveman, who was activated off the disabled list earlier Thursday, turned a high-flying, unassisted double play against the Los Angeles Angels, becoming the first A's pitcher to do so since Blue Moon Odom on July 11, 1971.
