Brian Bannister and Joakim Soria pitched two scoreless innings each in Tempe as Kansas City lost 7-6 to the Angels. Bannister, 26, came via trade for Ambiorix Burgos. Soria was chosen in the Rule 5 draft from San Diego. Both faced minimal danger, not walking a batter and fanning one, as they vie for a rotation spot with Soria also eligible for bullpen duties.
