Durrett has a story about Darvish's outing yesterday, and how he changed his approach against the A's compared to what he's done earlier in the year.

Sullivan's notes have quotes from Joe Nathan about pitcher throwing errors, days off for Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler, and Michael Young, Brandon Snyder's playing time, and the exciting news that Brad Hawpe's elbow has improved to the point he could play the outfield in the majors.
