Athletics 6, Rockies 3
Friday at Hohokum Stadium, Mesa, Ariz.
On the mound: Jon Gray looked sharp, attacking hitters from the first pitch en route to three scoreless innings with three strikeouts. … Tyler Anderson spelled Gray and things went south for the Rockies, as the left-hander yielded four runs on four hits and a walk in a disastrous fourth inning.
At the plate: Garrett Hampson had his second homer of the spring with a two-run blast in the fifth that cleared the grass seating in left field. … Ryan McMahon hit a long solo shot in the seventh inning.
Worth noting: For the game’s first out, Nolan Arenado popped up to his former teammate at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif., Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman. Chapman has won one Platinum Glove at the hot corner, Arenado has won two … The Rockies loaded the bases in the first and were primed to break the game open early, but Aaron Brooks struck out Chris Iannetta looking to end the threat.
Up next: Rockies (2-4) at White Sox (1-6), 1:05 p.m., Camelback Ranch
Starting pitchers: Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela vs. White Sox LHP Carlos Rodon
