Zack Gelof homered and singled to extend his hitting streak to 17 games and the surging Athletics beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Alika Williams had three hits, Henry Bolte had two hits and Jose Suarez (1-2) tossed 1 2/3 innings of relief for the A’s, who have won four straight in their first homestand at their future home city.

Elvis Alvarado got the final three outs for his second save.

Brett Sullivan homered and TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston had two hits each for Colorado, which has lost three in a row and seven of nine.

The A’s went ahead in the first against Colorado starter Kyle Freeland. Nick Kurtz reached on a one-out single and went to third on Shea Langeliers’ double to left. One out later, Jacob Wilson drove in both with a single.

Sullivan cut the deficit in half when he led off the third with his fourth home run, and the Rockies tied it in the fourth.

Rumfield led off with a double and scored on Johnston’s single to right. The A’s answered in the bottom of the inning when Bolte hit a leadoff single and Gelof homered to left-center field, his ninth of the season, to make it 4-2.

Colorado rallied once more in the fifth inning. Kyle Karros led off with a triple and scored on Sullivan’s sacrifice fly. Sterlin Thompson followed with a double to chase Athletics starter Joey Estes, who gave up four runs on five hits in 4 1/3 innings

Edouard Julien greeted Suarez with a single to put runners on the corners, Thompson scored the tying run on a wild pitch before Willi Castro walked and Rumfield’s double made it 5-4.

Freeland couldn’t hold the lead in the sixth. With two outs and Gelof on second, Williams blooped an RBI single to center to end Freeland’s night. Jaden Hill gave up a go-ahead pinch-hit RBI double to Tyler Soderstrom, Kurtz was intentionally walked and Langeliers walked to load the bases.

Hill hit Carlos Cortes to bring home another run for the A’s, making it 7-5.

Freeland (1-7) allowed six runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings.

Jo Adell went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored and Jose Siri hit a two-run homer as the Los Angeles Angels pounded out 15 hits in an 8-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.

Denzer Guzman went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a run scored, and Donovan Walton had a double and three hits and two RBIs. Nolan Schanuel also had two hits and two runs scored for Los Angeles, which won its fourth straight and for the fifth time in six games.

The victory clinched the second straight home series win for the Angels, the first time that has happened since June 5-11, 2025, against Seattle and the Athletics.

Jose Soriano (8-4), despite getting hit in the chest by a hard comebacker by Jonathan Aranda in the first inning, picked up the win with five shutout innings. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked two and struck out five.

Left-hander Samy Natera Jr. followed Soriano and struck out two over two hitless innings, and Brent Suter and Kirby Yates each tossed a scoreless inning of relief to finish up.

Tampa Bay starter Griffin Jax (1-5) suffered the loss despite allowing just one unearned run on five hits over five innings while striking out five without a walk.

Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Adell lined a double off the bottom of the left field fence and then scored when Schanuel’s hard grounder went off the glove of shortstop Taylor Walls for an error.

The Angels extended the lead to 4-0 in the sixth inning on Guzman’s two-run bloop single to center followed by Walton’s RBI double to right.

Los Angeles then broke the game open with a four-run seventh against reliever Cole Sulser. Siri made it 6-0 with a 431-foot, two-run homer to center, and Guzman and Walton each added RBI singles.

The Detroit Tigers placed right-hander Jack Flaherty on the 15-day injured list on Saturday because of a strain of the peroneal tendons along the outside of his left ankle and foot.

The Tigers lost the starting pitcher’s services just as ace Tarik Skubal, who had left elbow surgery, was activated from the 15-day IL and made his first start since April 29 in a 3-1 loss to host Cleveland Guardians.

Flaherty, 30, last pitched on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits in three innings against the Guardians before exiting because of the left leg injury.

He had fallen on the mound while facing Chase DeLauter in the first inning — Flaherty’s left cleat appearing to slip on his follow-through.

“Kind of tightened up between the first and second,” Flaherty said Saturday. “Didn’t feel great. When I went over to cover first, it tightened up on me even more. … I wasn’t finishing the same way after the first. My mechanics weren’t the same. There was a lot of discomfort.”

Flaherty changed his cleats for the third inning, when he lunged for a comebacker to retire Kyle Manzardo for the final out of the inning as Detroit went on to lose 3-2.

“He slipped on the mound. We all saw that,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “And then he was able to recover and tolerate it. He talked a little bit about it in the second inning, and then the (comebacker in the third) really irritated him. We’re going to get tests and get him worked up and looked at and all that.”

Flaherty is 1-8 this season, tied for the major league lead with eight defeats and 15 starts. He has a 5.35 ERA with 34 walks and 78 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings.

For his career, Flaherty is 64-64 with a 3.89 ERA, 385 walks and 1,208 strikeouts in 1,056 1/3 innings in 205 regular-season games (199 starts) for the St. Louis Cardinals (2017-23), Baltimore Orioles (2023), Los Angeles Dodgers (2024) and Detroit Tigers (2024, 2025-present). He is also 2-6 with a 5.05 ERA in 13 playoff games (11 starts).

In other moves on Saturday, the Tigers optioned right-hander Ty Madden to Triple-A Toledo and recalled infielder Hao-Yu Lee from Toledo.

Madden, 26, was 0-0 with a 3.15 ERA, five walks and 23 strikeouts in 20 innings over seven games (one start) this season for Detroit.

Lee, 23, is batting .212 (18-for-85) with two home runs and nine RBIs in 33 games this season with the Tigers.

Starting right-handed pitcher Casey Mize (adductor) is expected to come off the 15-day IL and start Sunday against Cleveland, Hinch said on Friday.
