Rockies set club record for runs with 23-9 victory over A's in Las Vegas heat

LAS VEGAS (AP) --- Willi Castro had seven RBIs, Hunter Goodman got five hits
and the Colorado Rockies set a franchise record for runs Sunday in a 23-9
victory over the Athletics on a 101-degree afternoon at Las Vegas Ballpark.
Goodman and Castro each hit two of Colorado's six homers. Troy Johnston and TJ
Rumfield also went deep for the last-place Rockies (27-45), who ended a
three-game losing streak.
Castro finished with four hits, including a grand slam off Scott Barlow in the
eighth inning. Goodman drove in four runs and Kyle Karros also had four hits as
the Rockies piled up 24 in all --- one shy of the team mark established against
Houston on Sept. 25, 2011.
The Athletics ended their Las Vegas homestand with a 4-2 record, winning
three-game series against Milwaukee and Colorado at the home of their Triple-A
affiliate. The big league club plans to move to the city full time in 2028.
Max Muncy and Tyler Soderstrom homered for the A's (35-36), who had won four
straight. Lawrence Butler got three hits and Zack Gelof extended his hitting
streak to 18 games.
Tomoyuki Sugano (7-4) got the win despite giving up eight runs and nine hits in
five innings. Eiberson Castellano tossed three scoreless innings to earn a save
in his major league debut.
Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs (3-7) allowed eight runs --- six earned ---
and seven hits in four innings.
Colorado scored six times in the fifth to build a 14-6 lead. Goodman homered to
begin an outburst capped by Tyler Freeman's run-scoring triple.
A's right fielder Carlos Cortes moved to the mound in the eighth and was their
most effective pitcher, yielding one run and three hits in the final 1 2/3
innings.
