in place of Justin Duchscherer, who was a last minute scratch with hip pain. As of this post, Tyson has thrown 4 2/3 innings, allowing 2 hits and no runs.

For all you A's fans out there, Tyson Ross, formerly of Bishop O'Dowd and the University of California made the Oakland A's roster this year as a non-roster invitee and jumped from AA all the way up to the big leagues based on his Spring training performance. He pitched for the first time in a big league game tonight against the Mariners at the Coliseum (2.1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K) and struck out the last batter to end the 6th and also struck out Ken Griffey Jr. Awesome stuff from a former Golden Bear!
