Kyle Freeland’s blister wasn’t the problem on Saturday. Blame this one on the bullpen.
A sellout crowd of 48,245 at Coors Field — and mostly of Dodgers fans — witnessed a predictable 9-2 Rockies defeat. Los Angeles scored six runs over the final three innings after Freeland had kept the Rockies in it through six. And their offense failed to produce when it mattered.
The Rockies (40-53) will aim to avoid a series sweep on Sunday. Colorado is 1-8 against the Dodgers this season.
Freeland, originally scheduled to pitch on Sunday, was bumped up one day when Antonio Senzatela went on the injured list due to MLB COVID-19 protocols.
