OAKLAND, Calif.—Finally a regular player in the big leagues, Abraham Toro hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning after Seth Brown had hit a tying two-run drive the previous inning, and the Oakland Athletics snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 5–4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
“When the manager trusts you and puts you there every day, it just gives you confidence as a player, and you play more relaxed,” Toro said. “I was thankful I was able to play good the last couple days, so I just want to take this opportunity and keep going for the rest of the year.”
