The Rockies and Phillies played a back-and-forth game that saw the lead change four times, but it was Colorado that eventually prevailed after C.J. Cron’s heroics once again lifted them to victory.
Freeland’s best work yet
Kyle Freeland has not yet had his best stuff on the mound this season, but Tuesday’s outing was a step in the right direction. He battled traffic throughout his start to throw five innings and allow two earned runs by way of two hits and one walk while striking out three. The first inning looked as though he may be in for a tough night after a Rhys Hoskins triple and a Bryce Harper knock put the Phillies up 1-0, but he buckled down and allowed no more runs until the fourth frame.
