Colorado RockiesvsAthletics
COL 5/ATH 7
Things to say
Athletics beat the Rockies 7-5 at Las Vegas Ballpark.
01
opener
A's took it 7-5 over Colorado last night in Vegas. Tight one for a while, then they pulled away late. Rockies just can't get out of their own way this year.
02
key player
Whoever's hitting in the heart of that A's order is locked in right now — they keep finding ways to put up crooked numbers.
03
hot take
Colorado at 26-45 is exactly what we said in April. That bullpen is cooked.
04
deep cut
Both teams sitting at .500 or worse and this thing was on MLB.TV only. Tells you everything.
05
exit
Anyway, let's see if the A's can keep it rolling at home — sweep's right there if their starter goes seven.
The recap
Athletics took this one 7-5 over Colorado out in Vegas, and honestly the Rockies just couldn't get out of their own way on the road. No standout box-score hero jumps out, but ATH chipping away to a two-run cushion against a Rockies club sitting at 26-45 feels about right — Colorado's been a punching bag all year.
Getaway-day energy at Las Vegas Ballpark, and the home side rode it to a tidy win that nudges them back to .500 at 35-35.
