Kyle Freeland Hits 1K Strikeout

Kyle Freeland reached a career milestone with his 1,000th strikeout in a gritty four-to-three Rockies win over the Pirates, pitching seven and a third innings with eight strikeouts and just two earned runs. The game was a nail-biter, with Colorado taking an early lead, the Pirates tying it, and a tense ninth inning where Senzatela escaped a bases-loaded jam with a strikeout and a double play. Senzatela earned the win, while Freeland’s historic strikeout was saved as a keepsake — setting up a big Saturday showdown against Pirates ace Paul Skenes.
