    Oakland rookie Kendall Graveman was walking off the mound after pitching into the sixth inning of what would be his first major league win against the Astros on Tuesday night when he heard a familiar voice.

    Graveman didn't think any of his family was in Houston to see him pitch. He was thrilled when he realized it was his uncle John Andrews who had traveled from Alabama to be at the game.

    "I don't how he got here," Graveman said. "Did he drive? Did he fly?"

    Either way, the 24-year-old pitcher was excited.

    "It's always good to have family around," he said. "So yeah, it surprised me."

    Four relievers completed the shutout to help the Athletics to the 4-0 victory.
