The A's have been a factory for talented young arms this season, seemingly turning out a new pitcher every time one was lost, and they'll need Travis Blackley to step up again behind four rookies (Tommy Milone, Jarrod Parker, Dan Straily and A.J. Griffin). | | |

He was going to have a tough time getting the win against Jered Weaver Thursday anyway but we would have preferred if A's manager Bob Melvin limited the damage done against Anderson. | | |
