Hoffman (6-5) gave up two other hits, both for extra bases -- Ozzie Albies' second-inning triple and Freeman's fourth-inning double. After averaging 94.5 mph on his four-seam fastball before Thursday, Hoffman dropped to a 92.1 clip in the game, with the first three home runs allowed coming on fastballs. Freeman's homer, on a curve, was by far his longest this year at 439 feet.
The Rockies, who saw Ryan McMahon -- their No. 3 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com -- earn his first RBI on a second-inning double, also saw third baseman and National League MVP Award candidate Nolan Arenado leave the game with an apparent re-injury to his left hand.
