The Rockies faced a tough deficit and were able to triumphantly come back to take the lead, but the bullpen couldn’t contain the Cardinals as St Louis collected the walkoff victory 5-4 on Tuesday.
Redbirds flying high
Kyle Freeland was certainly more effective in his start on Tuesday than he was the last time he faced the Cardinals. After a scary first inning that saw the Redbirds load the bases with two outs, Freeland was able to force Tommy Edman into a groundout to narrowly escape and cruise through the next few innings. He mostly relied on his signature sinker/curveball combination, mixing in a changeup, slider, or four-seam fastball as needed.
