A bright rainbow appeared over Coors Field Saturday night and Kyle Freeland finally got some run support. A sign from the baseball gods or a mere coincidence?
Freeland wasn’t super sharp, giving up four runs on eight hits over five innings and needing 95 pitches to get there. But he walked only one while striking out six. He was able to limit damage, especially in the fifth, when the White Sox sent seven men to the plate but cashed in only two runs on four hits.
But Colorado continued to bludgeon White Sox pitching. After cranking out 14 runs on 13 hits in a 14-1 victory on Friday night, the Rockies pounded out 13 hits Saturday, highlighted by veteran Charlie Blackmon’s two-run homer in the seventh. For Blackmon, who missed 53 games with a broken hand, it was the first home run since May 28.
The Rockies went to work right away against erratic Chicago right-hander Jesse Scholtens, who threw 46 pitches, and just 20 strikes in the first inning. The Rockies used four walks, an error, and Elias Diaz’s two-run single to stake a 3-1 lead.
