In an announcement that shouldn’t come as a surprise, the Colorado Rockies announced Tuesday morning that left-handed pitcher Kyle Freeland will be the starter on Opening Day. It will be the third Opening Day start of his career with the Rockies, tying him with his fellow starter Germán Márquez for the most in franchise history.

Freeland, 30, has had mixed results in his previous two attempts on Opening Day.
