Athletics starter Jesse Chavez twirled a quality start on Monday, but had nothing but a loss to show for it, as he fell 4-1 to the Angels in Anaheim. The right-hander permitted three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings of work.

Chavez has allowed two earned runs in four of his last six starts. He owns a 3.04 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP through 13 starts (80 innings). He is expected to make his next start Sunday at home against the Yankees.
