With their victory, the Rockies dodged a four-game sweep by the Brewers and also snapped the Brewers’ seven-game winning streak against them.
In his last start before the all-star break, Kyle Freeland knocked out a light in the Rockies’ dugout in a fit of frustration. Monday night in Milwaukee, the left-hander was simply lights out.
“After a long break like that, especially coming off a game that left a bad taste in your mouth — and then you have to sit that whole time, basically with that sitting in your mind, brewing — it ,” Freeland told reporters in Milwaukee. “But there is always going to be another start and you make sure when you go out there the next time that you give your best performance.
Bard got Andrew McCutchen to fly out to center, though Yelich tagged up and advanced to third. Hunter Renfroe hit a blooper into no man’s land in shallow right, but Rodgers redeemed himself by making a difficult catch for the second out. “I take a lot of pride in being a stopper,” Freeland said. “The past three games have been grinders for us. … Tonight was a good night and fortunately I was able to keep them off the bases.”In Freeland’s previous three starts in July, he was 0-2 with an 8.44 ERA, with opponents hitting .306 over those three games. Monday night, however, Freeland looked like the pitcher who went 17-7 with a 2.85 ERA in 2018, finishing fourth in voting for the National League Cy Young Award.
