Rockies fall to A's 6-3 in frigid home opener

In a frigid home opener at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies fell to the Oakland Athletics 6-3 in 11 innings, marking their worst start in franchise history at 1-6. Despite a sellout crowd of 48,015, the Rockies struggled offensively, striking out 14 times and going 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position. The game featured a controversial moment when a potential inside-the-park home run was ruled a ground-rule double after a review. Rockies manager Bud Black expressed optimism about the team's young hitters, while acknowledging their current struggles. Angel Chivilli, who pitched in the 11th, allowed three runs that sealed the loss. The Rockies now look to rebound in their next matchup against the Athletics on Saturday.
