Firebirds Lose to Athletics, 6-2
Oakland Athletics starter Kendall Graveman pitched a strong game against the Atlanta Firebirds at O.co Coliseum, leading the Athletics to victory, 6-2. Oakland is in 4th place in the American League West Division with a record of 45-49.

Tim Graves had a big 3-run home run for the Athletics in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Oakland trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Mike Whiteford, who is tied for 5th in the NL in complete games with 1, and swatted a home run to right. It was his 6th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Athletics ahead, 3-1.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Graveman.
