An announced sellout crowd of 48,105 braved snow and frigid temperatures for Friday’s home opener at Coors Field.

But the Rockies gave them a cold shoulder, losing 6-3 to the Athletics in 11 innings in a game that took 3 hours and 21 minutes. The A’s won the game with a two-out, two-run double to right by Gio Urshela off right-hander Angel Chivilli.

Not many fans remained at the game’s end, but those frozen few booed the punchless Rockies, who fell to 1-6, tying the 2024 and 2005 teams for the worst start through seven games in franchise history.

Before the game, manager Bud Black said his team’s anemic early-season offense was partly due to too many players “pressing.”

“Guys are trying a little bit too hard,” he said. “You have heard that a lot in professional sports, but our guys will bounce back. They will relax once they get a couple of hits, and hit a couple balls out of the park and hear the crowd noise behind them.”

Despite shortstop Ezequiel Tovar’s three-hit performance, and 11 total hits for the team, the Rockies’ offense remained AWOL when it counted. Colorado whiffed 14 times, hit 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position and left 13 base runners stranded.

Friday marked just the seventh time in franchise history, at home, that the Rockies had just one hit with 15 or more runners in scoring position. The last time that happened was June 8, 2013, vs. the Padres.

Veteran third baseman Ryan McMahon appreciated Black having the players’ backs but said it’s time for the offense to show some life.

“ ‘Ten’ is always going to have our back and he’s always going to make excuses for us,” McMahon said, referring to Black’s jersey number. “But at the end of the day, we’ve had our opportunities. We have to start coming through.”

Friday’s first pitch was greeted by fat snowflakes and 37 degrees, tying it with the 2004 game as the second-coldest home opener in franchise history. The coldest home opener was in 2018 (27 degrees). The game ended with a temperature of 32 degrees.

The Rockies lineup has been just as frigid.

In their first seven games, the Rockies have struck out 82 times at a 31.5% clip, the highest K rate in the majors. They are hitting .169 with runners in scoring position. Last season, they scored 24 runs during their 1-6 start. This season, they have scored 14 through their first seven games.

The Rockies, who had plenty of chances to win, tied the game, 3-3, in a funky eighth inning.

Kyle Farmer hit a one-out double to left field, where the ball stuck underneath the wall. A’s left fielder Miguel Andujar raised his hands, calling for a ground-rule double. Farmer, however, kept on chugging and thought he had an inside-the-park homer to tie the game.

Upon review, the umpires ruled that the ball “had lodged” under the wall and ruled the play a ground-rule double. The fans howled their displeasure, but it was the correct call. In the end, it didn’t matter because Jordan Beck came through with an RBI single to score pinch runner Tyler Freeman, who was running for Farmer.

Head-scratching defense cost the Rockies in the sixth and gave the Athletics a 3-2 lead.

Tyler Soderstrom led off with a single and raced to third on Miguel Andujar’s double to left. But Tovar, a Gold Glover, threw the ball away, allowing Soderstrom to score.

The A’s took a 1-0 lead in the first, stringing together two-out singles by JJ Bleday, Shea Langeliers and Soderstrom off of starter Ryan Feltner. Colorado tied the game in the bottom of the frame on a one-out triple by Tovar and a sacrifice fly by McMahon, who worked a 12-pitch at-bat off right-hander Osvaldo Bido.

Jacob Wilson’s one-out solo homer to left off Feltner put the Athletics ahead 2-1 in the fourth. Colorado immediately counterpunched, trying the game on a leadoff single by Michael Toglia, who scored from first on Farmer’s double to right.

Feltner gave the Rockies a workmanlike five innings, yielding three runs (two earned) on eight hits, striking out four and walking one. It was a step down from Colorado’s otherworldly starting pitching through the season’s first six games when the rotation posted a major league-best 1.35 ERA.

“Ryan threw OK,” Black said. “His secondary stuff was pretty solid. His fastball wasn’t commanded as well as he normally does.”
