OAKLAND -- A couple of streaks came to a crashing halt in Sunday's 11-1 loss by the A's to the Mariners.
Not only did the Mariners snap Oakland's five-game winning streak, but they became the first team to tag A's right-hander Andrew Triggs with an earned run this season. After Robinson Cano's one-out, first-inning RBI single, the Mariners blew the game open with five more runs against Triggs in the third, highlighted by Taylor Motter's grand slam.
Triggs said he struggled with his command all afternoon, especially with his cutter.
