 Colorado has won five straight games against the A's -- three in 2018 and two this year -- the longest win streak by either team in series history. Oakland has managed just eight runs combined in those five games (1.6 per game).

 Since opening the season 11-3 -- best in MLB through August 8 -- the Rockies have gone an MLB-worst 10-22 (.313) since August 9. Colorado's 6.73 home ERA this year would be the fourth highest by any team since ERA became an official stat in 1913, and highest since the Rockies themselves in 1999 (7.11).

 Oakland is averaging 5.65 runs per game on the road, tied with the White Sox for the most in the American League. That would be the Athletics' third-highest road scoring average since moving to Oakland in 1968, behind 2000 (6.01) and 2001 (5.69).

 Matt Olson leads the A's in home runs (13) and RBI (38) despite a .193 batting average. He's posted a .310/.420/.571 slash line in interleague play this year, compared to .155/.283/.411 versus AL opponents.

 Sean Manaea is the first A's pitcher to go 4-0 with a sub-2.00 ERA and fewer than two walks allowed over a four-start span since Rick Langford in 1980.

 Charlie Blackmon is hitting .475 (28/59) this year against left-handers. For his career, Blackmon's .311 batting average against lefties is the highest by any active left-handed batter (minimum 1000 PA vs. LHP), and no other qualifiers are within 20 points of him (Joey Votto, .289).

HP - Blaser, 1B - Marquez, 2B - Morales, 3B - Guccione

The Oakland A's, barring a collapse in the last two weeks of the abbreviated season, are headed to the playoffs. The Colorado Rockies need to rally to get into the playoff bubble, and getting a win in the second of a two-game series with Oakland is vital.
The Rockies (22-25) squandered a fast start in July and early August and are trying to recover. They have their ace, German Marquez, going against A's right-hander Mike Fiers on Wednesday afternoon, as every game from here on out carries importance.

Rockies look to close in on playoffs vs. A's

DENVER (AP)  Mike Fiers threw six sharp innings before turning it over to a lights-out bullpen and the Oakland Athletics snapped a six-game skid against the Colorado Rockies with a 3-1 win Wednesday.
Next up, a well-earned day off for the Athletics, who have played 16 games in 13 days. They finished the stretch 9-7.
