Freeland allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday.
Freeland left the mound in line for the loss after giving up back-to-back solo home runs to Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout in the fifth inning, but the Rockies pulled ahead on an Elias Diaz grand slam in the eighth. The southpaw battled an illness earlier in the week, which could have affected his performance. He's gone seven starts without a win, though surprisingly his worst outings in that span have come in challenging road matchups and not at Coors Field, where he has a 3.42 ERA on the year. Overall this season, Freeland has a 4.54 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB over 85.1 innings across 16 starts. He's lined up for a tough home start versus the Dodgers next week.
