Cotton dazzles as A's spoil Royals' home opener with 2-0 win (Yahoo Sports)

Khris Davis hit a two-run homer, Jharel Cotton shut down Kansas City's anemic offense and the Oakland Athletics held on to spoil the Royals' home opener with a 2-0 victory Monday. Cotton (1-1) gave up a single in the first and another in the sixth, but otherwise befuddled a Royals lineup that hasn't shown much punch. Davis provided all the offense Oakland needed when he followed a leadoff single by Ryon Healy with his fourth homer of the year.
