Milone earns third win in last four starts: After giving up four earned runs his last time out, A's pitcher Tommy Milone looked much better in his outing against the Angels on Monday. He allowed one run on five hits over seven innings of work in the 2-1 win. The left-hander made it through his first four frames unscathed before giving up an RBI double to Mike Trout. He was done after throwing 108 pitches, 73 for strikes. Milone also struck out three and walked one while earning his sixth win of the season. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Milone has won three of his last four starts and lowered his ERA from 4.09 to 3.75 on Monday. While he has just 32 strikeouts in 57 2/3 innings thus far, he has done a solid job of limiting teams in his first full season as a starter. The 25-year-old should remain effective pitching a a spacious home ballpark so keep Milone active in AL-only formats heading into his second start of Week 8 (May 21-27). He is scheduled to pitch again on Sunday against the Yankees at home. Milone has gone 4-0 with a 0.60 ERA in four starts at O.co Coliseum this season. (Updated 05/22/2012).

05/12/2012 01:13 Inge, Reddick power A's over Tigers
Brandon Inge hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs for the fourth time in five games, Josh Reddick homered twice and had a career-high five RBIs, and the Oakland Athletics pounded the Detroit Tigers 11-4 on Friday night.
After going 12-6 with a 3.22 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 24 starts for Triple-A Syracuse, Tommy Milone received his first call to the majors last season. He was brought up after rosters expanded and went 1-0 with a 3.81 ERA in five outings. The left-hander posted a 15-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 26 innings pitched and allowed two gopher balls. Milone was traded to the A's in the offseason and will compete for a spot in the rotation in 2012. While teammates Brad Peacock and Jarrod Parker have a little more upside than the 24-year-old, Milone is worth taking a flier on in AL-only formats on Draft Day. His long-term value is still pretty solid, though. (Updated 2/1/12)
