Griffin allowed four runs on four hits, including a pair of home runs, then sustained mild abrasions to his knees and right palm while sliding on the warning track to back up a throw in the fourth inning last Friday versus the A’s. Given the damage done in the game, Griffin wasn’t long for the game anyway before he excited.
Chavez (1-0) struck out six and allowed just one run across 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Mariners on Friday, yielding four hits and one walk. Chavez was efficient, allowing just two batters to reach through five innings before running out of gas with two outs in the sixth inning. He threw first-pitch strikes to 18 of 22 batters.
