OAKLAND, Calif. -- The next earned run Oakland A's right-hander Andrew Triggs allows will be his first this season.
Triggs will take a 2-0 record and 0.00 ERA into his third start, a matchup against Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish on Tuesday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
Triggs has spent most of his pro career as a relief pitcher, but he made six starts for the A's last season and won a spot in their rotation this year with a strong spring training. He has allowed eight hits and one unearned run over 11 2/3 innings this season with four strikeouts and four walks.
