    ob Melvin had no major concerns about sending left-handerRich Hill to the mound against Detroit's lineup of righty sluggers.

    "He's really unpredictable in what he's throwing," the Oakland manager said after Hill shut down the Tigers. "Sometimes even the pitches that he throws back to back are a little bit different in how they move."

    Hill allowed four hits in seven scoreless innings, and the Athletics beat the Tigers 5-1 on Tuesday night. Marcus Semien homered for the A's, and Hill breezed through Detroit's hitters with little trouble. He struck out eight and wasn't really in any jams after he escaped the first inning with two on.
