Paxton (5-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against Oakland. He struck out three.
Paxton corralled his sixth quality start in his last seven appearances, allowing just two runs across six frames. Both of the runs came via solo homers from Manny Pina and Brent Rooker, and he now has a 1.3 HR/9 this year. Through 10 starts (56 innings), Paxton has given up more than three runs just once and owns a 2.73 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP to go along with a 5.6 K/BB.
