SEATTLE - Sonny Gray overcame a shaky start to allow one run in seven innings, Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer and the Oakland Athletics won for the fifth time in six games by beating the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Saturday night. Grey (2-0) gave up his only run in the first when Seattle failed to capitalize when they had runners at first and third and no outs. Gray stymied the Mariners from there, allowing only singles to Logan Morrison in the fourth and Robinson Cano in the sixth, and a double by Dustin Ackley in the seventh. It was another dominant performance by the young right-hander who has given up only two earned runs in three starts this season, and earned his second win in a week against Seattle. Donaldsons first inning blow was the only offence Oakland needed. He lined a 2-0 pitch from Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez (1-2) over the hand-operated scoreboard for the early lead.

The 32-year-old right-hander has been dealing with a strain in his lower back and abdominal muscle. He was officially placed on the disabled list March 30 but has been essentially hampered by the injury since spring training. Manager John Gibbon said Janssen is going to throw a bullpen session "very soon." "Hes feeling better but something is still nagging him a little bit," Gibbons said before Friday nights game against the Boston Red Sox. Janssen will likely throw at least two bullpen sessions before another rehab assignment in the minors. "I dont see him back here in the next couple of weeks, to be honest with you," said Gibbons. The manager said while there has been no physical setback, Janssen is still not feeling 100 per cent. "Theres still something there thats holding him back a little bit," Gibbons said. &quoot;Psychologically he doesnt feel quite ready to cut loose because something is just nagging at him there, in his oblique.dddddddddddd" Janssen has seen action in just three games this season, working three innings with a 3.00 earned-run average. The hard-throwing reliever has already had one rehab assignment in the minors cut short after being told to take more time off. Sergio Santos has been operating as the Jays closer in Janssens absence, converting five-of-six save opportunities heading into play Friday.
