DENVER -- Kyle Freeland threw six shutout innings, Nolan Arenado homered and the Colorado Rockies cooled off the Oakland Athletics with a 3-1 victory on Friday night.
Freeland (9-6) allowed five hits while striking out five, walking three and hitting a batter. Colorado's starting pitching is 6-0 with a 1.65 ERA at Coors Field in July.
Ian Desmond and Garrett Hampson also drove in runs for the Rockies, who have won 14 of 19 this month. Adam Ottavino threw a spotless ninth for his fourth save of the year.
