Sonny Gray Dealt First Career Loss To Seattle

(AP) — Sonny Gray already had a tough start when Endy Chavez bounced a chopper through a vacant middle infield and turned a single into a two-run double. The Oakland Athletics nearly rallied in the ninth inning before losing for the fifth time in six games, falling 6-5 to James Paxton and the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. In the fourth, second baseman Alberto Callaspo moved to shallow center trying to make a play on Chavez's ball, but shortstop Jed Lowrie was late moving toward the bag, and Chavez had already begun sliding into second. The rubber game Wednesday afternoon between the division rivals and playoff contenders has the makings of quite a pitcher's duel. Kyle Seager hit a two-run homer that helped the Mariners build a 6-0 lead. A day after hitting a home run in his first at-bat since joining the A's, Adam Dunn had an RBI single as a pinch-hitter in the eighth to put Oakland on the board. Austin Jackson hit a two-run single in the third. Chris Young (12-7), chased Monday after getting just two outs in the shortest outing of his career, will be evaluated during throwing sessions by McClendon between starts to determine whether there's anything wrong physically with the 35-year-old right-hander. Hernandez (13-5, 2.23) looks to end a three-start winless stretch, in which he's 0-2, and bounce back from a loss to the Nationals after surrendering a career-high four home runs.
