    Sonny Gray came off the mound and into the Oakland dugout after the eighth inning purposely trying to avoid contact with manager Bob Melvin.

    Gray, clearly the best pitcher on this night in a matchup against Rangers ace Yu Darvish, wanted to finish what he started.

    "I normally talk to him, share a laugh, make something up," Gray said. "I put my head down and he goes, `How are you feeling?' I just yelled `Great!" and kept walking. ... Yeah, I wanted to go back out there."

    The right-hander did pitch the ninth, wrapping up a three-hitter for his first career complete game as the Athletics beat Texas 4-0 Monday night in Darvish's shortest outing in the major leagues.
