KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dan Straily earned his first major league victory as Coco Crisp and Yoenis Cespedes homered to lead the Oakland Athletics to a 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. Straily (1-0), a 24th-round draft pick in 2009, held the Royals to three singles over 6 1/3 innings in his third major league start. Straily, who walked two and struck out two, pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the second inning. The Royals loaded the bases on a single by Salvador Perez and walks to Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer. Chris Getz grounded out to first baseman Chris Carter to end the inning and strand the runners. Luke Hochevar (7-11) gave up three runs and four hits in seven-plus innings. Hochevar is 0-8 with a 6.52 ERA in nine career starts against Oakland, and said he doesn’t let his record against the A’s enter his mind.
