OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Jesse Chavez's record hardly tells the story of his season and first year as a full-time starter.
In a rare outing when he was rewarded with enough run support, the right-hander struck out six over eight innings to win for just the second time in six starts, and the Oakland Athletics beat the National League West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 on Wednesday for a two-game sweep.
''The work that I put in will lead to results and that's all I want to show is that I'm still out there working to get through this season, a full season at that, as a starter,'' Chavez said.
