Kyle Freeland set the tone, Sam Hilliard provided the juice, and the bullpen closed the deal.
Sam Hilliard #16 of the Colorado Rockies crosses home plate after hitting a three run homer in the fifth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Sept. 08, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Kyle Freeland set the tone, Sam Hilliard provided the juice, and the bullpen closed the deal Sunday afternoon in one of the Rockies’ most impressive victories of the season.
But after yielding a one-out single to Issac Collins in the second, Freeland retired the next 14 hitters he faced. The lefty pitched six innings, giving up one unearned run on three hits and no walks. He struck out four. Freeland needed just 57 pitches over his final five frames. Hilliard, getting the start in center in place of Brenton Doyle who’s nursing a sore left hand, beat the odds with his game-clinching three-run homer in the fifth. Brewers manager Pat Murphy pulled struggling starter Freddy Peralta and brought in lefty reliever Hoby Milner to face the left-handed hitting Hilliard. But Hilliard parked Milner’s 1-1, 80 mph sweeper to give Colorado a 4-1 lead.
