Freeland's Gem Falls Short | Colorado Rockies News

The Rockies’ hopes for a series comeback were dashed again as they fell 4-2 to the Giants, thanks to a crushing three-run homer by Casey Schmitt that shifted momentum in the sixth. Despite a strong start from Kyle Freeland — who racked up nine strikeouts — the Rockies’ offense went cold, tallying just six hits and striking out repeatedly in key moments. The Giants, while not dominating offensively, benefited from odd calls and solid pitching from Tyler Mahle, who kept the Rockies’ bats quiet. A late rally sparked by Kyle Karros’ home run in the eighth cut the deficit to two, but it wasn’t enough. With the Giants now leading 2-1 in the series, the Rockies turn to Michael Lorenzen for a must-win finale before the All-Star break.
