Rockies Lose By a Run at Oakland, 5-4
The Oakland Athletics and Colorado Rockies obliged fans looking for a good time.

The Oakland Athletics weathered a fine game by Colorado second baseman Royce Lewis to upend the Rockies, 5-4, at Oakland Coliseum. Lewis was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Oakland reliever Steve Rickert picked up the win, upping his record to 4-3. Felix Gonzalez took the loss. Picking up the save was Jonas Natividad, his 31st.

Had Bobby Alicea not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Alicea hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Athletics.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Alicea.

Oakland, at 58-62, sits in third place in the American League West Division.
