DENVER — Kyle Freeland lasted just three batters before leaving with a strained left groin. The Rockies' relievers kept them in the game until the hitters could win it.
Five relievers teamed up to help overcome the loss of Freeland, and Colorado got a game-tying homer from Nolan Arenado in the seventh inning and a go-ahead RBI single by D.J. LeMahieu in the eighth for a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
"Everyone did a great job keeping it a close game to give our offense a chance to win it," said Mike Dunn (4-1), who picked up the victory with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.
