MINNEAPOLIS — Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs<\/a> left Sunday’s start against the Minnesota Twins<\/a> in the second inning with right hip discomfort.<\/p>\n

Springs allowed three runs in the first inning and motioned to the dugout to visit the mound two pitches into an at-bat against Austin Martin<\/a> with two on and one out. The 33-year-old left without testing the injury after talking with manager Mark Kotsay and the A’s trainer.<\/p>\n

Springs has struggled since a strong start to the season, going 0-9 with a 7.71 ERA over his last 17 starts. He’s 3-9 with a 5.96 ERA overall after going 11-11 with the A’s last season.<\/p>\n

The A’s fell 11-8 to the Twins and are in fourth place in the AL West, 9.5 games behind the Rangers.<\/p>\n
