Lawrie hits 2 homers as A's rout Rockies 11-2

Lawrie hits 2 homers as A's rout Rockies 11-2 (AP) — Brett Lawrie had a pair of home runs and four RBIs, Drew Pomeranz pitched six scoreless innings and the Oakland Athletics routed the Colorado Rockies 11-2 Monday. Lawrie hit a solo homer in the sixth off Ryan Arrowood for a 6-0 lead and capped a five-run sixth with a three-run homer against LaTroy Hawkins that made it 11-0. Ben Zobrist had two hits and three RBIs, and Billy Butler had two hits and two RBIs for the Athletics, who are 13-1 at home in their first spring training at HoHoKam Stadium. Colorado starter Eddie Butler left after the first inning with light shoulder fatigue. With LHP Jorge De La Rosa sidelined by a groin injury, Butler's hopes of opening in the starting rotation improved. Athletics: OF Coco Crisp (elbow) took a few swings on Monday and was to bat in a minor league game on Tuesday. RHP Sonny Gray, the A's opening day starter, will also pitch in the same minor league.
