Athletics pitcher Jesse Chavez pitched well for five innings Friday, before hitting a wall and settling for a no-decision in a 9-5 win over the Marlins.
Chavez shut the Marlins out for five innings and seemed well on his way to another win. He simply ran out of steam in the sixth inning, as the Marlins jumped on him for five straight hits without recording an out before he was chased.
Chavez ended up allowing four runs on six hits in five innings of work, while striking out five batters and walking three. He settled for his second no-decision in a row, as the A's rallied to win, 9-5.
Chavez remains 6-4 through 16 starts, with a 2.94 ERA in 98 innings. His next start is set for Wednesday in Detroit.
