Rockies top A's at Coors

DENVER _ Coors Field continues to be a tough place for the Oakland A's to hit.

For the second consecutive night, the A's were held to just one run at the usually hitter-friendly park in Saturday's 4-1 loss. It's the first time the Oakland has lost back-to-back games since losing four in a row June 12-15.

Brett Anderson wasn't great, but also wasn't terrible. Although he allowed base runners in nearly every inning, he managed to complete six innings of work, something A's pitchers have struggled to do as of late. He surrendered four runs on eight hits and a walk, two of the runs coming on solo shots by Nolan Arenado and Pat Valaika.

Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela entered the night with a 5.55 ERA, but aside from giving up a run in the first, he managed to keep A's hitters in check for 5 2/3 innings before handing it of to the bullpen.

Former A's outfielder Carlos Gonzalez continued to excel against his former team. Entering the night with a .355 average against the A's, Gonzalez went 3 for 4 with a season-high three doubles.
