Noah Davis pitches great in first start but Rockies lose, 1-0, to Mariners

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:38:56 GMT

Seattle’s Luis Castillo flirted with perfection and Noah Davis answered the Rockies’ prayers in a wonderful pitchers’ dual at T-Mobile Park Sunday afternoon.In the end, however, the Rockies tumbled, again, falling 1-0 for their fifth consecutive loss and getting swept by the Mariners in the three-game series.Seattle won the game in the sixth inning on Jarred Kelenic’s two-out, run-scoring single off lefty reliever Brad Hand. But don’t blame Hand, blame the crucial walks issued by right-hander Dinelson Lamet — one to Ty France to lead off the inning, the other to Cal Raleigh with one out — that set up Kelenic’s hit that brought home France.The Rockies, desperate for a quality start, called up Davis from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill in for injured right-hander German Marquez. Making his first start in the majors, Davis was outstanding. He blanked the Mariners for five innings, giving up three hits (all singles), with three walks and five strik...

OAKLAND – The A’s days in Oakland are numbered, as far as Reggie Jackson is concerned.Jackson, who at one point wanted to purchase the A’s from former owners Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann, believes the team will have no choice but to vacate the East Bay in the coming years because of low revenue issues created by their decaying 55-year-old stadium.“No, they’re not going to have a team here. You can’t play with three, four, five six thousand people in the stands,” Jackson said Sunday at the Coliseum before the A’s held a celebration for the 1973 World Series championship team. “You have no revenues here. What’s the signage look like?

Sunday’s game drew 17,645, the second-largest crowd of the season behind Opening Night (26,805) on March 30.The A’...
