Colorado Rockies beat Oakland Athletics 2-1 behind brilliant outing from Jorge De La Rosa

Jorge De La Rosa worked out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the sixth that began with runners at first and third and nobody out. A ground-ball to third resulted in a rundown that he finished himself. That was followed by the 999th strike-out of De La Rosa's career. He finished off the gutsy performance by inducing yet another ground ball to third base.

He would come back out in the seventh and eclipse the 100 pitch mark -- finishing with 104, 61 for strikes.

His final line: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 K

Jorge De La Rosa was brilliant tonight, just one game after having to leave with a cut on his pitching hand.
