First Pitch: 6:40 PM PT / 7:40 PM MT

Colorado continues to struggle with pitching depth and road performance, while Oakland—hovering near .500—has been surprisingly competitive behind improved starting pitching and timely offense. The Coliseum’s cavernous dimensions and cool Bay Area air should shape the run environment.
