Max Kepler and Miguel Sano blasted three-run homers to power

Royals 3, Athletics 1
Jason Vargas pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings as Kansas City snapped

walking one and striking out eight.
Rockies 3, Giants 1
Trevor Story hit his first home run of the season, and left-hander
Chris Rusin rescued injured Jon Gray with 3 1/3 innings of
lead-protecting relief to lead Colorado to a victory in the opener

Story's home run, a two-run shot in the fourth inning, came off
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner (0-2), who remained winless in three
starts despite striking out eight in six innings. He allowed all
three of Colorado's runs on six hits. [© 2017 Thomson Reuters. All
