Kyle Freeland threw 4 1/3 perfect innings on Monday night. Then it all fell apart inside Dodger Stadium. via PSaundersDP
The Rockies’ left-hander threw 4 1/3 perfect innings, with four strikeouts. He was pitching like a Yankee Doodle Dandy on the Fourth of July.“Those first four innings, everything was working,” Freeland said. “Me and Diaz were on the same page, getting early contact and weak contact.”
On a full count, Trayce Thompson blasted a three-run homer to left off Freeland’s poorly executed slider. The previously tepid Dodgers crowd got rowdy as Colorado pitching coach Darryl Scott visited Freeland on the mound. The fans got even rowdier when Cody Bellinger hit a ground-rule double and Mookie Betts singled him home to make it 4-1.
Freeland, clearly upset, could be seen throwing things in the Rockies’ dugout. His final line: 5 2/3 innings, six hits, four runs, one walk and five strikeouts. His ERA rose from 4.31 to 4.43. The Rockies entered the game having hit a paltry 18 home runs on the road, the fewest in the majors. Worse, they had just eight homers in their past 26 road games.
