Better in second turn Graveman (0-2) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a loss versus the Athletics on Sunday.
Impact Graveman put runners on the corners in the fifth inning, and manager Scott Servais inserted Anthony Misiewicz for relief duty. Misiewicz promptly gave up a three-run homer to Ramon Laureano, sticking Graveman with the loss to spoil an otherwise solid performance. While the 8.31 ERA and 1.62 WHIP are unsightly, the 29-year-old righty has struck out 10 batters in 8.2 innings this season. Graveman's next start is expected to come at home against the Rockies on Saturday.

Gets call in high leverage Misiewicz earned his first hold in a win over the Astros on Sunday, firing a scoreless eighth inning in which he allowed no hits or walks and recorded one strikeout.
Impact The 25-year-old southpaw had previously been identified by manager Scott Servais as a potential candidate for save chances while Yoshihisa Hirano (illness) remained out. While Misiewicz's Sunday assignment didn't unfold in the ninth inning, it did come with the Mariners nursing a two-run lead in the eighth. Misiewicz came through in fine fashion in a frame that included a swinging strikeout of Carlos Correa, and he could certainly be in line for more late-game work moving forward.
