Even if the Colorado Rockies had gotten a passable pitching performance, it wouldn’t have mattered in their eighth straight defeat. The Rockies mustered just three hits in the first eight innings of an 8-2 loss to the Oakland A’s at Coors Field. Rockies starting pitcher Alex White departed after just four innings, allowing four runs, though only two were earned on a day in which the Rockies did their struggling pitching no favors by making three errors. The Rockies remain the only team in the majors without a win in interleague play. They are 0-9 against American League teams so far. Another AL team lies ahead. The Rockies travel to Detroit for a three-game weekend series against the Tigers, which opens tonight. You can hear the game live on ESPN Radio 1410. Pregame coverage begins at 5:30 with the first pitch scheduled for 6:05.
