After getting shut out twice on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies fled across the desert back to the somewhat friendlier confines of Coors Field. Still on the hunt for the ever-elusive “series win” or “double-digit wins” or even just “wins,” the Rockies will host the 28-18 Philadelphia Phillies for a four game series.
On the bump for the Rockies is the left-handed Kyle Freeland, who is now 0-6 through nine starts. Freeland gave up three earned runs his last time out against the Texas Rangers. All three of those runs came in the first inning, after which he locked things down and pitched five more scoreless frames with five strikeouts.
