“Competing against the best players in the word is pretty special,” Zack Gelof said.
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.
“We followed the game plan,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “This park can get you out of the right approach, and from the onset we stayed through the middle, we stayed through the other side of the field, and you saw the results. We were able to add onto a lead, which we haven’t been able to do. Overall it was a good night.
“It was good to get a big lead early, so I could go out and attack those guys,” Sears said. “It’s an adjustment . You can’t think too much about it. Some of the late movement on some of your pitches may not be there. Just knowing when to be a little more aggressive and a little less aggressive to guys.”
“Competing against the best players in the word is pretty special,” Gelof said. “I want to do this for a long time. I love playing this game. I’m going to keep trying to have a blast out there and bring some energy.”
