Kendall Graveman is quickly turning into one of the better pitchers for the Oakland Athletics and is proving his worth at baseball's highest level of competition. Last night he had his first complete game victory of his career, his second complete game overall.

Another note on Kendall Graveman’s 2nd career CG, tonight is his first in a win. The first was eight innings and 111 pitches in a 1-0 loss.
