ANAHEIM – Kendall Graveman’s return from the disabled list got off to a bit of a slow start, but the right-hander gave the A’s everything they rightfully could have asked for.
Maybe even more, considering he turned in an unassisted double play, the first for an A’s pitcher in 46 years.
But Graveman’s six innings of two-run baseball, good as it was, wasn’t enough to keep the A’s from their fourth consecutive loss, 2-1 at the hands of the Angels with the Anaheim crew finishing off a series sweep that knocked Oakland, now 10-12, out of second place in the American League West.
