REHAB ASSIGNMENT: Made his first rehab start July 19 at Iowa and had a no decision in the Sounds 11-8 win in 11 innings (2.1 ip, 5 h, 4 r, 4 er, 1 bb, 1 so, 2 hb)…started and lost at New Orleans in an 8-0 loss on July 24 (3.0 ip, 9 h, 7 r, 3 er, 1 bb, 1 so, 1 hb)…his final start came last Saturday at Nashville against Salt Lake, a no decision in a 2-1 Sounds win (4.2 ip, 4 h, 1 r, 1 er, 2 bb, 5 so, 1 hb, 1 hr).

2017 HIGHLIGHTS: Was the A’s Opening Day starter on April 3 against Los Angeles (AL) and picked up the win in a 4-2 decision…became the A’s 11th different Opening Day starting pitcher in the last 12 years (Zito, Haren, Blanton, Braden, Sheets, Cahill, McCarthy, Anderson, Gray twice, Hill)…is just the second of those pitchers to pick up the win (Gray, 2015)…won his second consecutive start in the A’s 6-1 win at Texas April 8…no hit the Rangers over the first six innings and Napoli broke up the no-hitter with a two out homer in the bottom of the seventh…did not strike out a batter in 5.0 innings on April 14 against Houston, his first career start without a strikeout…issued a career-high tying four walks May 3 at Minnesota…left his start on May 14 at Texas with a 4-3 lead but Madson blew the save…it was the first of three times the bullpen blew a save in one of his starts (Aug. 8 vs. Seattle, Aug. 30 at Los Angeles-AL)…struck out a career-high tying eight batters in a 9-3 victory over Baltimore Aug. 13.

LAST START: He had a no decision in the A’s 10-8 loss at Los Angeles (AL) last Wednesday…allowed a solo home run to Trout in the first and a two-run home run to Pujols in the third…Oakland then scored eight times

in the fourth to give him an 8-3 lead but he allowed two runs in the fifth on another two-run home run by Pujols…left after five innings with an 8-5 lead but the Angels scored five times in the seventh for the win (Hatcher blown save).
