LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 Pinch-hitter Tyler Soderstrom delivered a go-ahead double in the sixth inning and the Athletics beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 on Saturday night for their fourth straight comeback victory.<\/p>\n
Zack Gelof had a two-run homer and Alika Williams went 3 for 3 with a walk for the A’s (35-35), including a tying single in the sixth.<\/p>\n

The A’s are playing this week at Las Vegas Ballpark, site of their Triple-A affiliate, in their future home city \u2014 where the big league club plans to move into a new stadium in 2028. <\/p>\n
Colorado led 5-4 before the Athletics scored three runs with two outs in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Williams singled home Gelof to tie it, and Soderstrom doubled in Williams. After two walks loaded the bases, pinch-hitter Carlos Cortes was hit by a pitch to make it 7-5.<\/p>\n
Jose Suarez (1-2) worked 1 2\/3 innings in relief for the win, and Elvis Alvarado struck out two in a perfect ninth for his second save. <\/p>\n
Rockies starter Kyle Freeland (1-7) was charged with six runs and 10 hits in 5 2\/3 innings. He struck out four and walked none.<\/p>\n
Jacob Wilson’s two-run single in the first gave the Athletics a 2-0 lead. Sullivan homered leading off the third and Troy Johnston tied it with an RBI single in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Gelof launched a two-run homer in the bottom half, but the Rockies countered with three runs in the fifth. Sullivan had a sacrifice fly, Sterlin Thompson scored on a passed ball and TJ Rumfield doubled home a run.<\/p>\n
