Matt Holliday had two hits, including a home run, for the Rockies. Eli Marrero also had two hits. After striking out on a check swing in his first at-bat, Thomas hit a 1-1 pitch off Josh Fogg that sailed high over the billboards beyond the left-center field fence, setting off a mild celebration in the A's dugout.
