ARLINGTON, Texas – Kendall Graveman flirted with a no-hitter Saturday, and given the way in which he dissected the Texas Rangers’ lineup, figure it won’t be the last time.
With the wind whipping wildly for most of the night at Globe Life Park, the A’s right-hander kept the Rangers grounded, literally. He recorded 12 ground-ball outs and glided through seven innings in Oakland’s **-*** victory that evened this three-game series at one apiece.
The Rangers had a zero in the hit column and Graveman was at just 73 pitches as he took the mound for the seventh.
