Surrenders fatal grand slam Graveman (5-1) took the loss in Tuesday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Mariners, allowing four runs on two hits and a walk while recording his only out via strikeout. Impact Graveman entered a scoreless game in the eighth and permitted a walk, strikeout, single and hit a batter before serving up a go-ahead grand slam to Abraham Toro -- the player Houston gave up to acquire Graveman. The four runs allowed on the one swing are only one less than the five he had surrendered all season prior to Tuesday, and as a result the 30-year-old's ERA jumped from 1.00 to 1.79. However, one blowup outing shouldn't alter Graveman's role in Houston's bullpen moving forward.
