KANSAS CITY -- Expect to see Jefry Marte draw most of the starts at first base when the Angels face a left-handed starter.
Marte has been in the starting lineup for all three of the Angels' matchups with southpaws this season, a trend that continued Friday when he started at first against the Royals' Danny Duffy at Kauffman Stadium. Manager Mike Scioscia seems to be treating first base as a bit of a platoon between Marte and C.J. Cron, though he left open the possibility of deploying Cron against southpaws down the road.
