Kyle Freeland appeared to be having an impressive outing, until it wasn’t anymore. As Buddy Black says — that’s baseball. The Rockies ultimately fell 5-3 to the Dodgers.
The 5th inning of pain
The Rockies and Dodgers seemed to be having a pitching duel until Kyle Freeland slipped up in the bottom of the fifth inning. Jose Iglesias has just homered in the top of the inning to give the Rockies the lead, but that lead didn’t last long.
Justin Turner singled, Chris Taylor walked and then it was downhill from there. Trayce Thompson sent a ball over the wall to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead.
