Graveman spooks Astros with strong sinker
Kendall Graveman goes eight-plus innings, allowing two runs and five hits while striking out three batters in his winHOUSTON -- In simplifying his game, A's right-hander Kendall Graveman has revived it.
Graveman, winner of a 3-2 contest over the Astros on Saturday afternoon, was struggling to give the A's innings, and results, in the early going this season. Carrying a 5.36 ERA after nine starts, he began to ask himself, "What am I not doing? These guys that are the best in the game, what are they doing?"
"They're not missing the mitt by much," Graveman recalled telling himself, "and that's what I focused on."
