TUCSON, Arizona (Ticker) -- Jeff Manto's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning gave the Colorado Rockies a 3-2 Cactus League victory over a split squad of Oakland Athletics.

Manto, who had a hit and scored in front of Edgard Clemente's first spring homer in the fourth, lifted his sacrifice fly off Doug Jones (1-1), scoring Aaron Ledesma.

The run made a winner of Julian Tavarez (1-0), who allowed a hit and two walks in a scoreless eighth. David Lee notched his first save, striking out two in the ninth.

Oakland starter Ron Mahay allowed two runs and four hits -- including Clemente's homer -- in four innings. Colorado starter Scott Karl gave up two runs and six hits in five frames.

Dave McCarty doubled twice and drove in a run for the Athletics.
