Triggs is probably incredibly thankful that he is getting out of the hot desert air. The right-hander officially has a spot in the starting five to begin the season, beating out Jesse Hahn, who, like Triggs had a strong first half of the spring but faltered greatly in the second half, but he didn’t so much earn the spot as much as he was the beneficiary of injuries to other teammates and competition that beat itself. Triggs’ spring troubles would continue once again today, as the Royals were able to take Triggs deep three times in under four innings en route to a 10-3 defeat for Oakland.
