EDGE Analysis

Triggs entered Thursday's outing sporting an impressive 1.23 ERA over his first 7.1 spring innings but imploded against an Indians lineup with plenty of regulars. His troubles began early when he gave up three runs on a walk, two doubles and a single in the first inning. His command was the biggest issue, although Triggs did manage to strike out Edwin Encarnacion twice with men on, preventing an even more unsightly line. Although he was naturally displeased with his overall results and not reaching his goal of pitching into the fifth inning, Triggs took solace in mostly settling down after his early troubles. "I thought once we settled in, fastball command was better," said Triggs. "As things settled in, I was happy with my breaking ball, happy with my cutter."
