Rockies’ Kyle Freeland struggles as Giants romp behind Kevin Gausman

The pride of Grandview High School bested the pride of Thomas Jefferson on Monday afternoon at Coors Field. It wasn’t close.

In a rare matchup of Colorado native starters, Grandview’s Kevin Gausman pitched San Francisco to an easy 10-5 victory over Kyle Freeland’s Rockies. Gausman was sharp, Freeland was anything but.

Gausman, a 2010 graduate, pitched seven solid innings, limiting the Rockies to three runs on five hits. He struck out nine and walked only one. After giving up a leadoff solo homer to Ryan McMahon in the second, he didn’t give up another hit until the sixth when Raimel Tapia singled and scored on Charlie Blackmon’s triple.
