OAKLAND, Calif. -- As good as Kendall Graveman has been this year, emerging as the Athletics ace in place of injured Sonny Gray, the right-hander still cant figure out how to get past Seattle.The latest loss to the Mariners was easily Gravemans worst.Nelson Cruz had three hits and three RBI, Nori Aoki also had three hits and drove in two runs, and Kyle Seager hit his 28th home run and Seattle beat Oakland 14-3 on Saturday.Graveman allowed eight runs and a career-high 12 hits over five-plus innings with three walks and one strikeout.Its always disappointing no matter how good of a run or how bad of a run youve been on, Graveman said. To have an outing like that is disappointing but Ive learned in the past that you cant dwell on this. Youve got to put in the past and continue to work.Graveman has been able to do that for the most part except when pitching against Seattle.In four starts against the Mariners this season, Graveman has three losses and a 7.48 ERA. Against everyone else, Graveman is 10-6 with a 3.20 ERA.He got behind and then when he came in for a strike those guys swung the bat well, As manager Bob Melvin said. Historically (Seattle has) some guys with some good numbers but the way hes been pitching that shouldnt be a factor. It was just one of those games where he was a little bit off and didnt have command of his fastball like he normally does.Felix Hernandez pitched six scoreless innings to continue his dominance at the Oakland Coliseum and help the Mariners win their fourth straight.Hernandez (11-5) gave up four hits and a walk in the first two innings then settled in for his second consecutive win.
