Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images | Kyle Ross-Imagn Images After last night’s exciting extra innings win against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Colorado Rockies took the field at Citizen’s Bank Park today looking to have a three-game winning streak. It would have been a great way to rebound after their six-game losing streak they snapped earlier in the week.

Sadly, the streak was not to be. A slump-busting Alec Boehm led the Phillies offense to a commanding nine-run victory, and the Rockies had little to offer as a response. Freefall After giving up a leadoff single and stolen base to the speedy Trea Turner, left-handed starter Kyle Freeland showed some of his best stuff, recording six straight outs with three strikeouts.

Then everything fell apart in the third inning. Freeland allowed five earned runs on six hits in a third inning that started with a home run, two singles, and another home run before he recorded his first out. After his first out, he gave up a double and single for another run.

While eventually he stopped the bleeding, the Phillies had already rocketed ahead. Freeland settled down somewhat in the next two innings. He did give up a solo home run to start the fourth inning—Alec Boehm’s second of the game.
