The Colorado Rockies (9-42) delivered one of the most satisfying wins of the bleak season on Friday, winning 3-2 over the New York Yankees (30-20). It was a complete win for the club, with quality pitching, timely hitting, and stellar defense. The hope is that those same traits will follow in a tough matchup on Saturday.
Kyle Freeland (0-6, 5.68 ERA) is still looking for his first win and some run support as he takes the hill. In his last start against the Phillies, Freeland relieved a strong 5 1⁄3 innings, giving up one run on seven hits with six walks against two strikeouts.
