Kyle Freeland gets the starting nod for the Rockies and he was not very sharp in his last outing going six innings and giving up four earned runs on 10 hits, but the lineup helped him out in a 7-6 win over the Atlanta Braves. Colorado had dropped his previous two outings and in his last three he has lasted 17 innings and given up nine earned runs. Freeland’s only start against the Diamondbacks came early in the season where he only gave up one earned run in six innings of work in a 3-1 Rockies win.
