It was comebacks galore in Oakland today, as the Athletics pulled off not one, not two, but three late-game comebacks against the Colorado Rockies. The cherry on top was a Tyler Soderstrom, walkoff walk that put the A’s back on a winning track.
Despite a much needed 7-inning effort from rookie starter Joey Estes, the A’s fell into an 0-4 hole with the offense looking as lifeless as usual. The righty went at the Rockies batters, striking out 6 and walking none, but a couple of defensive miscues made his night a lot harder. In the top of the 1st, JJ Bleday casually strolled to catch a soft flyball in center and threw the ball into second base, where Ezequiel Tovar was parked.
