The Oakland A’s won a game at Coors Field! After pulling a sweep there in 2012, they had the favor returned in 2018 and then lost two-of-three in 2020. This year, they got off on the right foot in the mountains with a victory Friday night.
They’ll try to do it again on Saturday, with Cole Irvin taking the mound. The left-hander has allowed five, four, and four runs in his last three starts, but has also averaged slightly better than five innings in those games, so he’s at least still gotten his work in even when he hasn’t kept the opponent off the board.
