• Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Unravels in fifth inning

  2D ago •

  Freeland (4-6) took the loss Monday versus the Dodgers. He allowed four runs on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Freeland retired 13 Dodgers in a row to start the game, but they built a rally against him in the fifth inning. Trayce Thompson took him deep for a three-run home run and Mookie Betts added an RBI single. Freeland got into more trouble in the sixth before Jhoulys Chacin relieved him. Freeland completed at least six frames in each of his five starts in June, so Monday marked a slight step back. The southpaw has a 4.43 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 63:27 K:BB across 91.1 innings in 16 starts. He's projected for a road start versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.

• Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Earns second win in a row

  19D ago •

  Freeland (3-5) picked up a seven-inning win against the Padres on Friday, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out none and walking one. Freeland did not pitch his best, but picked up a win anyway, thanks to his offense scoring 10 runs. Although he did not strike out any batters and allowed eight hits, the lefty was able to limit the damage to four runs. Freeland showed efficiency, throwing 56 of 82 pitches for strikes across seven frames. He will have to be sharper in his next outing, tentatively set for a road matchup in pitcher-friendly Miami, as he can't expect as much run support away from home.
