OAKLAND, Calif. -- One pitcher who has been historically good and another who has been continually bad are set to duel Sunday when the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics complete a four-game series.
A's right-hander Andrew Triggs (3-0) will be seeking to extend a streak of 17 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run to open the season when he makes his fourth start.
He'll be opposed by Mariners righty Yovani Gallardo (0-1), who not only has yet to win at the Oakland Coliseum, but has never beaten the A's anywhere in six career starts.
