From Rotoworld: Miranda was charged with five runs — four earned — in 5 2/3 innings and took a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. He was victimized by the longball. Delino DeShields, Joey Gallo and Elvis Andrus all took him deep. His record falls to 7-5 as his ERA rises to 4.41 with a solid 1.15 WHIP after 22 starts. He draws the Athletics for his next start on Tuesday.
Graveman was rocked for seven runs on eight hits over just two innings in Thursday’s loss to the Giants. Graveman was activated from the disabled list prior to the game after missing two months due to a strained shoulder. That rust showed. The Giants pounced on him for four runs in the first inning and three more in the second to send him to the showers early. He was pitching to a 3.83 ERA in eight starts before his DL stint and will try to bounce back from Thursday’s poor showing in a home outing against the Mariners next time out.
