WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Interstat) — The Colorado Rockies and the Athletics meet Saturday at Sutter Health Park in the second game of a three-game series, with first pitch set for 7:07 p.m. PDT. Colorado (26-43) will start left-hander Kyle Freeland (1-6) against an Athletics team that has won three of its last four. The Athletics (33-35) have not announced a probable pitcher. The Interstat game simulator projects a 5-4 Athletics victory, and the home team is a -1.5 favorite on the run line. The over/under is 13.5 runs. The Rockies enter on a four-game losing streak after dropping Thursday’s series opener 9-3 to the Chicago Cubs. In that game, catcher Brett Sullivan went 3 for 4 with two home runs and two RBIs, continuing a hot stretch at the plate. Over his last 10 games, Sullivan is hitting .400 (6 for 15) with three homers and three RBIs, though he has struggled defensively in limited pitching appearances, allowing five hits and two earned runs in 2 1/3 innings across two relief outings this season. The Athletics took Wednesday’s series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3, powered by a scoreless inning from reliever Elvis Alvarado. Alvarado has been dominant recently, allowing no hits and no earned runs with six strikeouts over his last 4 1/3 innings across three appearances. Right fielder Lawrence Butler also contributed with a home run and two RBIs in that win. Friday’s series opener between these teams was suspended with no score after the top of the first inning due to rain. That game will be resumed at a later date. Saturday’s contest represents the 10th meeting of the season between the Rockies and Athletics, who last played a series in 2023. Colorado’s rotation has struggled, with Freeland posting a 5.82 ERA over 12 starts. The Rockies’ bullpen has also been shaky, allowing 4.8 runs per game over the last week. The Athletics, meanwhile, have won four of their last six and have scored 28 runs in their last four games. After Saturday’s game, the teams conclude the series Sunday, then the Rockies head to Chicago to face the Cubs, while the Athletics host the Pittsburgh Pirates.
