Bleday, Athletics March to 8-1 Victory
The Oakland Athletics downed the Colorado Rockies, 8-1. The hitting star was center fielder JJ Bleday. Bleday went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Athletics. Yusei Kikuchi, who is tied for 4th in the AL with a 10.9 K/9 rate, was the winner. He's now 12-8. The loser was Tyler Mahle. Oakland now has a record of 83-72 with the win.

Oakland won the game in part because of Kyle Tucker. The right fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Athletics ahead, 3-0. For the game, Tucker had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Oakland manager Brad P.
