Straily giving up 2 runs and only getting 11 Ks was underwhelming against the Astros, so the A's sent him back to the minors.

No Wallace or Ankiel. I'll take the under. It will be 8 tonight. This figures to break the streak of career high strikeouts for the starting pitcher. Colon is unlikely to reach 14Ks, which is his career high.
Straily was sent to AAA, that was their plan all along. They have 6 starters but Colon was not eligible until today, so they needed someone for last night's game
