The Colorado Rockies’ bats mostly mimicked the weather for opening day at Coors Field.

Ice cold.

The Rockies dropped their fifth consecutive game with a 6-3 loss in 11 innings on Friday to the visiting Athletics. Colorado struck out 14 times, went 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners stranded. A reported sellout crowd of 48,015 (with some empty seats) endured blowing snow and 34 degrees at first pitch to witness the Rockies falter when it mattered most.

“We’re just not quite there yet as far as bunching some hits together and getting that big knock,” Black said. “It’s frustrating. I’m sure when you talk to the guys, they’ll say the same things.”

The Rockies (1-6), to their credit, did not show panic in the postgame dressing room despite tying their worst start in franchise history through seven games.

“It’s only seven out of 162. There’s so much season left,” infielder Michael Toglia said. “Any team throughout that long of a stretch, there’s going to be bad seven-game stretches. So, I guess we’re just getting it out of the way early.”

Squint through the snow and find a handful of Rockies positives from a disappointing result.

Starting pitcher Ryan Feltner was solid over five innings. He gave up three runs (two earned) on eight hits, while striking out four with one walk. Black said that Feltner “made some big pitches when he needed to” and “giving up three runs, a lot of times in this ballpark, that’s good enough.” Their bullpen was strong until right-hander Angel Chivilli cracked in the 11th.

Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar broke out of a slump with a 3-for-5 day at the plate — including a triple off the right field wall in the first inning. Infielder Tyler Freeman slapped an RBI double that scored Toglia in the fourth. Outfielder Jordan Beck tied it in the eighth inning, 3-3, when he belted an RBI single that scored Tyler Freeman (pinch running for Kyle Farmer).

But they failed to produce in extras after the Athletics knocked in three runs in the 11th.

“My role is just to get the ball in play and just have good at-bats up there,” Tovar said through an interpreter in the dressing room. “It’s no secret that we have to be better in that area. It’s something that we all recognize we haven’t done our job there. And we all have to execute more.”

Athletics 6, Rockies 3 (11 innings)

What happened: The Rockies fought back twice in their home opener at Coors Field, but their offense proved unable to get big hits at big moments in a deflating extra-innings loss.

On the mound: Ryan Feltner was solid in his second start this season. He said postgame: “We competed great. There was a lot of fight back, especially at the end of the game. I’m really happy with the group of guys that we have. I think that things will turn around for us soon.” Angel Chivilli gave up three runs (two earned) on three hits in the 11th inning.

At the plate: Ezequiel Tovar led the Rockies with three hits. Michael Toglia and Kyle Farmer also recorded two hits each.

What’s next: Athletics (LHP JP Sears, 0-1; 2.70) at Rockies (RHP German Marquez, 0-0; 0.00) on Saturday at 6:10 p.m. at Coors Field.
