Apr 4, 2025; Denver, Colorado, USA; Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (5) rounds the bases on a solo home run in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Jacob Wilson hit a go-ahead two-run single in the 11th inning, and the Athletics spoiled Colorado’s home opener with a 6-3 win over the Rockies in Denver on Friday.
Wilson also homered and Lawrence Butler, Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom had two hits apiece. Noah Murdock (1-0) tossed two innings of scoreless relief for the Athletics, who snapped a four-game skid.
Langeliers led off the 11th with a walk off Angel Chivilli (0-1) to put runners on first and second, and the runners moved up on a groundout. Miguel Andujar lined out to second and Wilson singled to right to bring home JJ Bleday and Langeliers
Gio Urshela followed with a double to drive in Wilson.
Mason Miller struck out Ezequiel Tovar to end the game and pick up his second save.
Tovar had three hits and Kyle Farmer and Michael Toglia had two hits each for the Rockies, which toughed out 38-degree weather and snow falling in the second coldest home opener in Coors Field history. The coldest temperature was 27 degrees in 2018.
Colorado has dropped five straight games.
The A’s took a 1-0 lead in the first on consecutive two-out singles by Bleday, Langeliers and Soderstrom, but Colorado tied it in the bottom of the frame on Ryan McMahon’s sacrifice fly.
Wilson put the Athletics ahead in the fourth inning with a solo homer, his second of the season, but the Rockies tied it again on Farmer’s RBI double to right field in the bottom of the frame.
That was all A’s starter Osvaldo Bido allowed. He left after giving up two runs on six hits in five innings.
The Athletics scored again in the sixth inning and chased Ryan Feltner. Soderstrom singled, Andujar doubled to left and Soderstrom was able to score on Tovar’s errant relay throw.
Jimmy Hegert relieved starter Ryan Feltner and was able to retire the side without another run scoring.
Feltner allowed three runs — two earned — on eight hits in five-plus innings, and was rescued from taking the loss when his team rallied in the eighth.
Farmer had a one-out ground-rule double, and after a strikeout, pinch runner Tyler Freeman scored on Jordan Beck’s single to tie it.

Browns draft Quinshon Judkins: Fantasy Football outlook for 2025, impact on Jerome Ford, and more
Jamie Schwaberow / Getty Images Quinshon Judkins was the first running back drafted on Day 2, going before teammate TreVeyon Henderson, who many viewed as a potential Round 1 pick. Judkins' new team is a mixed bag of a landing spot. It sure looks like Joe Flacco will be their starting quarterback and the offensive line is average at best. On the positive side, Judkins should be able to earn the lion's share of early down snaps in training camp.How you feel about Judkins as a running back prospect likely depends on whether you are a film guy or a stat guy. The advanced stats and the more traditional stats paint a less-than-exciting picture, though he did rush for 3,785 yards and 45 touchdowns in three college seasons. We had a great debate about Judkins on Fantasy Football Today Dynasty […]

Patriots draft TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2: How Ohio State RB will make Drake Maye’s life easier
USATSI The New England Patriots used their first pick at the 2025 NFL Draft to protect Drake Maye with Will Campbell, and now the organization is using its second pick to give their young quarterback a weapon. With the 38th overall pick, the club selected Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson is looked at as one of the more explosive backs in this class, which will be a welcome sight for a New England offense that has been lacking game-breaking talent at the skill positions for quite a while. The 22-year-old was a key piece to the Buckeyes' championship run during the College Football Playoff while splitting time with fellow back Quinshon Judkins. Throughout 16 total games played, Henderson rushed for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 27 receptions for 284 yards receiving and another touchdown. TreVeyon Henderson NFL Draft […]
