After dropping two of three to the last-place Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies finish their road trip in San Diego, trying to wrap up the first half of the season on a positive note.
Kyle Freeland (1-2, 5.50 ERA) will start the series for Colorado. He was very effective in his last start, tossing six strong innings of scoreless ball against the St. Louis Cardinals this past Saturday. After allowing two walks in the first inning, the Colorado native settled in and was rarely in trouble from then on. Freeland will try to replicate that success against the Padres, who he has struggled against in the past.
