"Former Mississippi State star Brent Rooker got the A's off to a very good start in this one as he crushed a two-run dinger to get them on the board before Brayan Bello had even recorded an out. Tyler Soderstom brought home Nick Kurtz shortly after that and it sure seemed like the A's would be in firm control of this one."
"The Marlins went into the bottom of the ninth inning with a six-run lead after Liam Hicks, Otto Lopez and Heriberto Hernández helped power them forward in the high altitude. This should've been a cakewalk to victory for Miami after Sandy Alcantara looked like his old self for once. Valente Bellozo entered the game in the ninth for Miami and got absolutely walloped as he gave up two doubles and two homers while struggling mightily to get two outs."
Brent Rooker opened the scoring with a two-run homer and Tyler Soderstom added an RBI as Oakland built an early advantage. J.T. Ginn and the Athletics' pitching staff kept Boston largely quiet while Oakland added insurance runs to seal a convincing win at Fenway. At Coors Field, the Marlins carried a six-run lead into the ninth after contributions from Liam Hicks, Otto Lopez and Heriberto Hernández and a solid start from Sandy Alcantara. Reliever Valente Bellozo surrendered multiple extra-base hits and homers in the ninth, and Calvin Faucher recorded the final out to preserve the victory.
