KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Oakland right-hander Andrew Triggs, who came up through the Royals' system, will start Wednesday night for the Athletics in the second game of the series at Kansas City.
Triggs faced the Royals on March 27 in spring training in Arizona. It was an unpleasant experience.
Triggs gave up eight runs on eight hits, two walks and a hit batter in 3 2/3 innings in a 10-3 loss. Mike Moustakas, Brandon Moss and Paulo Orlando homered off Triggs while Lorenzo Cain and Raul Mondesi contributed doubles.
