DENVER — Zack Gelof and Ramon Laureano homered, JP Sears won for the second time this season and the Oakland Athletics broke a three-game losing streak with an 8-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night.
Oakland took a 7-2 lead into the eighth inning, but the Rockies closed to 7-5 on pinch-hitter Michael Toglia's run-scoring single and Jurickson Profar's two-run double. Lucas Erceg, Oakland's third pitcher of the inning, got two groundouts to end the inning.Sears gave up four hits including a homer to Randal Grichuk, struck out five and walked one while breaking a four-game losing streak.
After Laureano singled in Rooker in the first inning, Langeliers tripled in the first run of a three-run second for a 4-0 lead. His was the only ball the A's got out of the infield in a rally fueled on errors by third baseman Ryan McMahon and second baseman Alan Trejo, a hit batter and a fielder's choice that did not result in an out.
Freeland gave up nine hits and five runs, three earned, in his first start since suffering a right shoulder injury when he dove for a popup in San Francisco on July 9. He struck out three and hit a batter.Rockies 1B CJ Cron returned from the injury listed Friday to face his father Chris, Oakland's hitting coach, a career first.
