The Rockies weren’t blown out in Game 1 for the first time all year, but they still lost the game on a deadly combination of a wild pitch/throwing error in extra innings. They have not won Game 1 of a doubleheader since July 30, 2017. That being said, though, they have not yet been swept in a doubleheader in 2022, so there might be hope for the second game this evening (although they have only scored one run in their last 19 innings of baseball...)!
Kyle Freeland (1-5, 4.53 ERA) will make his 12th start of the season today.
