Colorado’s Jason Hammel lands on the mound after fielding a ball hit by Oakland’s Adam Kennedy in the first inning of the Rockies’ 4-2 win.
Todd Helton added a two-run single as part of a three-run fifth inning, helping Colorado snap a seven-game losing streak in Oakland.
Hammel allowed only four hits, struck out five and walked two to finish 4-0 this month. The right-hander also extended his career-best win streak to five in a row to improve to 5-3 overall.
Huston Street got some sweet revenge in pitching against his former team for the first time since being acquired in November as part of a trade that sent slugger Matt Holliday to the A's, working a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18 tries.
