Colorado RockiesvsAthletics
COL 4/ATH 6
Things to say
Athletics beat the Rockies 6-4 at Las Vegas Ballpark.
01
opener
Yeah I caught the A's-Rockies game last night. Athletics took it 6-4 at home. Closer game than it should've been honestly.
02
key player
The A's bats in the middle of the order finally showed up — about time somebody in green and gold got into his stuff.
03
hot take
Rockies are 26-44 and it's June. They're not a real ballclub right now, full stop.
04
deep cut
Playing in Las Vegas Ballpark is still weird to me. That park plays small, ball carries, you saw it tonight.
05
exit
Anyway, curious if the A's can stay above .500 — they're right there at 34-35. Catch you later.
The recap
Athletics took this one 6-4 over Colorado out in Vegas, holding off the Rockies after letting them hang around longer than they should have. Without a box score in front of me the details are fuzzy, but the A's offense did enough damage to stake a lead and the bullpen managed to slam the door before things got dicey.
Colorado drops to 26-44, which tells you most of what you need to know about how their season's going. Getaway-day win for the A's, nothing flashy, just a quiet two-run cushion at the final.
