DENVER – The Colorado Rockies must have been celebrating “Singles Day” at the ballpark because they managed to beat the San Francisco Giants for the third day in a row Saturday afternoon on the “power” of 13 one-baggers and just one bloop double.
Kyle Freeland continues to be the poster child for the mental fortitude displayed by all the Rockies rookie pitchers. He struggled at times to avoid hard contact but avoided the big hit and threw his best pitches when it matters most.
Colorado got their first run with two outs in the second on three consecutive singles from Carlos Gonzalez, Trevor Story and Tony Wolters who delivered the go-ahead RBI.
