The parting gift for Rockies fans on Sunday afternoon was a gem from veteran left-hander Kyle Freeland and a crisp 3-1 victory over the Angels.
In the final game of the season at Coors Field, the Rockies managed only four hits, but it was enough with Freeland on the mound.
“It’s great to finish off with a win at home,” said Freeland, who earned the 65th win of his career, surpassing Jeff Francis for the fourth-most wins in franchise history. “It’s definitely not the season we wanted — at all. But it was nice to have a good quality baseball game, all around, to finish off the season at home.
