The Colorado Rockies snapped a three-game losing streak, finally solving the riddle of the Seattle Mariners to secure a 6-3 win and reclaim the top spot in the NL West. At least, for the time being.
Kyle Freeland did his part, getting another quality start and bettering his rookie-best ERA to earn the win while the Rockies All-Star candidates did their part to carry the offensive load.
The Rockies put up a big inning — something that has happened a lot this season — in the second, plating four runs in the frame, finally breaking their scoreless streak after being shutout on Wednesday.
