The Colorado Rockies survived another blown lead to manage an exciting extra-inning win against the Philadelphia Phillies last night.
Colorado carries a two-game winning streak into the matchup, as the teams meet for the second time this weekend and the fifth time already in this young season. Tonight, Kyle Freeland takes on Aaron Nola. Freeland enters with a 1-3 record in five games started, with a 5.
04 ERA, 1. 360 WHIP, eight walks, and 24 strikeouts. He’s had an equal mix of very good games and pretty shaky games.
In two of his earlier starts, he gave up eight hits and two earned runs in both games combined. On the other side of things, he gave up eight hits and six earned runs in his last game, the 11-6 loss to the Atlanta Braves last Sunday. He’ll aim to bounce back today.
