On the 2023 scale, the Rockies are red-hot.
Colorado pummeled Milwaukee on Wednesday night at Coors Field, 7-1, giving the Rockies a season-high three-game winning streak and their first home series win this season.
Kyle Freeland threw five shutout innings before giving way to an effective bullpen, while on offense, Alan Trejo’s bases-clearing double plus homers by Kris Bryant and Charlie Blackmon provided plenty of cushion for one of Colorado’s best pitching performances of the year.
The Rockies’ big inning came in the fourth. Elias Diaz, one of Colorado’s silver linings so far throughout a rough spring, put Colorado ahead with an RBI single off Eric Lauer.
