DENVER – On a perfect Wednesday afternoon in downtown Denver, the Colorado Rockies played a beautiful game of baseball. Rookie starter Kyle Freeland was phenomenal once again in front of his hometown crowd, the gold glove defense showed up throughout, and they got the timely hitting they needed from the players who are supposed to power the offense … and who have been all season.
The Rockies loaded the bases in the third after not collecting a hit in the first two innings. Trevor Story began things with a single up the middle and Ryan Hanigan surprisingly drew a walk but Freeland’s sac bunt attempt failed to move the runners over, a nice spinning throw from Bauer cutting down Story on the force at third.
