Andrew Triggs bounced back in a statement start, the A’s pitching staff set a record for most strikeouts in a three game series, and the A’s swept the Orioles in a quick Sunday afternoon affair.
Aided by a more-than-generous strike zone, Andrew Triggs was great on the mound, keeping the Orioles’ offense off-balance and also keeping his pitch count at a manageable level. A mistake pitch from Triggs to Pedro Alvarez found the outfield seats to give the Orioles and early lead, but after a fourth inning single from Jace Peterson, Andrew Triggs retired twelve straight batters and kept Baltimore at bay.
