Athletics Win Behind Zack Gelof's Strong Performance

The Athletics extended their win streak to four with a victory over the Rockies, led by Zack Gelof's strong performance.

What happened in the game?

The Athletics beat the Rockies, with Gelof reaching 17 games in a row with a hit, now first in MLB in longest active hitting streaks.

Gelof went 2-of-4, with a two-run home run and a single, dominating against the Rockies.

How has Gelof performed recently?

In the last 15 days, Gelof is hitting .314, with 16 hits, two doubles, and three home runs, making him a key player for the Athletics.

His production could not have come at a better time, as the Athletics hope to steal the A.L West from the Mariners.

Who else contributed to the win?

Elvis Alvarado has been lights out in his last three appearances for the Athletics, giving up one hit, zero runs, and striking out nine batters.

Alvarado has been great for the Athletics this season, barring a few rough games in April, and is now a key part of the bullpen.

What's next for the Athletics?

The Athletics are now at .500, with a 40-44 record, and are one game behind the Mariners in the A.L West, after losing 4-1 to the Los Angeles Angels on 2026-06-28.

With one more game in Las Vegas, the Athletics have a chance to continue their winning streak and move up in the standings.

And Jacob Wilson is back in the lineup, making his presence felt with a single, scoring both Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers.

So the Athletics are looking to build on their recent success, with Gelof and Alvarado leading the way.

But they will need to bounce back from their recent loss, and continue to play well to stay in contention.
