Senzatela escaped further damage when he got Khris Davis to ground into an inning-ending double play. Senzatela (1-0) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings.

The Rockies broke it open in the eighth against reliever Lou Trivino. McMahon led off with a walk, Tapia singled, and one out later Wolters doubled to drive in a run. Dahl followed with a double high off the wall in right center to score two more.

Oakland got a run in the bottom of the eighth when Olson and Canha began the frame with singles, then moved up on a wild pitch. Olson scored on a groundout.
