A.J. Griffin spun eight shutout frames Thursday in an 8-1 win over the Angels.

The eight innings tied a career high. Griffin was in control all night long, limiting the Angels to just five hits and one walk while recording two strikeouts. The only run scored on an RBI double by Howie Kendrick in the fourth inning. Griffin owns a 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over his first two starts and is gaining momentum in mixed leagues. He has a favorable start coming up against the Astros next week.

A.J. Griffin held the Mariners to two runs over six innings in Thursday's 8-2 victory.

He permitted permitted seven hits, walked two and struck out three. The red-hot Michael Morse got to Griffin with a solo blast in the sixth inning, but it was the only extra-base hit the right-hander allowed all day. It's a good start for Griffin, and he likely has to continue pitching well in order to keep Dan Straily at Triple-A. Griffin faces the Angels next week.

A.J. Griffin looked sharp in his final test of the spring on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits over his five frames against the Giants.

Griffin fanned six on the evening while issuing just one walk. He finishes the spring with a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 21/4 K/BB ratio over 20 innings. While he's currently has his spot secured in the A's rotation to start the season, if Daniel Straily pitches well early on, he could be a consideration to be replaced once Bartolo Colon is ready to return from his suspension.
