HOUSTON — The lower Kendall Graveman's pitches track, the higher his star rises.
Graveman locked in on the bottom of the strike zone again Saturday, pitching the A's into the ninth inning of a 3-2 win over the Astros.After two hits off Graveman got the Astros going in the ninth, the A's turned to Ryan Dull, who hadn't allowed any of his 36 inherited runners to score all season, an ongoing record. The record came to an end on Jose Altuve's grounder to third, a run scoring as third baseman Tyler Ladendorf got the out at second base.
