Rockies rookie left-hander and Denver native Kyle Freeland on Sunday came within two outs of pitching a Coors Field no-hitter against the White Sox in a 10-0 victory for Colorado (box score). The 24-year-old graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver would've recorded just the second no-hitter in Rockies history (Ubaldo Jimenez in 2010) and the second in Coors Field history (Hideo Nomo for the Dodgers in 1996). On top of all that, Freeland would've been just the 23rd pitcher to throw a no-hitter thrown as a rookie in MLB history.
