Fresh off of a tie against the Giants and three straight wins against the White Sox, Royals and Dodgers, the Rockies are back in Cactus League action today as they will take on Cleveland in Goodyear, Ariz.
The Rockies (6-1-1) will start a very young starting lineup featuring only three veterans in starting pitcher Kyle Freeland and outfielders Sam Hilliard and Nick Martini. In his first spring training appearance on Feb. 23, Freeland threw two scoreless, hitless innings with two strikeouts and no walks against Milwaukee. Martini is tied with Michael Toglia in leading the Rockies in spring training homers with two in eight at-bats.
