"That's probably the best play I've ever seen a pitcher make," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "I didn't know how to put that one down on my card."

Kendall Graveman fields a grounder and runs down Ben Revere at third, then leaps over him to tag Cliff Pennington for an amazing double play

"I don't know if I've seen a pitcher do that," Angels manager Mike Scioscia echoed. "That's a tremendous effort on his part."

Only hours removed from the disabled list, a healthy Graveman -- who missed one start with a minor shoulder strain -- managed to escape harm's way on the play, the first unassisted double play by an Oakland pitcher since Blue Moon Odom.
