KYLE FREELAND NEWS

Allows three homers Freeland (4-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out a single batter over 5.2 innings.

Impact Freeland surrendered two first inning homers and another in the sixth, which amounted to four of the five runs he gave up. The 30-year-old had given up just one home run over five starts this month coming into Tuesday despite three of those starts taking place at Coors Field and has now given up at least five runs in two of his last three outings. His ERA has shot up to a 4.22 to go with a 1.31 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB over 64 innings. Freeland is tentatively scheduled to take the mound again over the weekend against the Royals.

Bounces back in no-decision Freeland did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against Miami. He struck out four.

Impact It was a solid rebound for Freeland after he allowed eighth runs (five earned) over two innings in his last start against Texas. His last outing aside, Freeland has been solid of late, allowing two runs or less in four of his last five starts. The 30-year-old lefty is 4-5 this season with a solid 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 42:14 K:BB through 11 starts (58.1 innings) this season.

Impact A Marcus Semien leadoff double set the tone for the afternoon, as Texas hitters and some shaky Colorado defense combined to hand Freeland his worst road start so far this season. The southpaw saw his ERA jump by nearly three-quarters of a run, but he'll still take a 3.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB through 53.1 innings into his next outing, likely to come against the Marlins back at Coors Field.

MAY 14, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Excellent in fourth win Freeland (4-4) pitched six shutout innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out eight to earn the win Sunday over the Phillies.

Impact This was the fourth time this season that Freeland has kept runs off the board, and it's important to note he's achieved that feat three times at Coors Field. Sunday's outing was also his sixth quality starts in nine outings, four of which have come at home. The 30-year-old celebrated his birthday by lowering his ERA to 3.16 with a 1.11 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB across 51.1 innings this season. Freeland's next start is expected to be on the road versus the Rangers.

Takes loss despite quality start Freeland (3-4) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over seven innings in a 2-0 loss to the Pirates. He struck out four.

Impact Freeland, who allowed a season-high seven runs last time he faced Pittsburgh, tossed six scoreless frames before surrendering a two-run home run to Rodolfo Castro in the seventh. Despite the quality start, the left-hander picked up his fourth loss, as Mitch Keller tossed a complete game shutout. Freeland has been solid to start 2023, posting a 3.57 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB through eight starts (45.1 innings).

Cleared to start Monday Freeland (neck) is listed as the Rockies' probable starting pitcher for Monday's game in Pittsburgh.

Impact Freeland was bothered by a neck problem in his most recent outing last Wednesday against the Brewers, but he apparently came through his between-starts bullpen session no worse for the wear and will take the hill Monday on normal rest. The veteran southpaw tentatively lines up for a two-start week, with his second outing set to come over the weekend against the Phillies at Coors Field.

Experiences neck problems Wednesday Freeland aggravated a neck injury during Wednesday's win over Milwaukee, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Freeland said he first tweaked his neck while lifting weights after his previous start against the Diamondbacks, and the issue flared up again in the fifth inning of Wednesday's contest. Freeland's neck injury isn't expected to impact his next start, but it could be something the team keeps a closer eye on going forward.

Takes third loss of season Freeland (2-3) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.

Impact Freeland pitched well, but was victimized by a dormant Colorado offense. The southpaw has bounced back nicely after giving up 7 runs in 2.2 innings against the Pirates on April 17th. The 29-year-old has allowed the same amount of runs over his last 12 innings. However, there is still room for improvement, as he's posted an unimpressive 4.32 ERA so far. Fortunately, Freeland still has plenty of time to try and regain his 2018 form (17-7, 2.85 ERA).

Can't keep ball in park Saturday Freeland (2-2) took the loss Saturday as the Rockies were downed 4-3 by the Phillies, giving up four runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over six innings....

Impact Despite being away from Coors Field, the southpaw still got hit hard, with Nick Castellanos leading the way for the Phillies by slugging solo homers in the second and sixth innings. Freeland sports a 4.28 ERA and 18:7 K:BB through 27.1 innings, losing his last two outings after kicking off the season with three straight quality starts. The 29-year-old will look to get back on track when he next takes the mound, which is likely to be at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Hammered in big loss Freeland (2-1) allowed nine runs (seven earned) on eight hits and walk over 2.2 innings Monday. He struck out one and took a loss against Pittsburgh.

Impact Freeland couldn't find any sort of groove Monday and turned in his shortest start of the year. He gave up just two extra-base hits, including Andrew McCutchen's solo shot to open the game's scoring. Freeland had allowed just two runs through 18.2 frames prior to the ugly outing and his ERA jumped to 3.80. He's projected for a start in Philadelphia this weekend.

Fires quality start in no-decision Freeland didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals after giving up two runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out five and walked two.

Impact The left-hander was unable to secure his third straight win to begin the season as Colorado's bullpen blew a four-run lead, but it was still another strong showing Tuesday. Freeland is off to an impressive start through three outings in 2023 with a 0.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 18 frames.

Yet to allow a run Freeland (2-0) earned the win over Washington on Thursday, pitching 6.2 scoreless innings during which he yielded four hits and two walks while striking out five batters.

Impact All four of the hits Freeland gave up Thursday were singles, and he didn't allow any Nationals to reach second base. The southpaw made it through 6.2 frames on just 86 pitches, and he extended his streak of scoreless innings to begin the campaign to 12.2. Freeland has posted a mediocre 6:3 K:BB over that span, so he's not overpowering opponents, but he's given up just seven hits. The veteran hasn't finished a season with an ERA below 4.33 or a WHIP below 1.41 since 2018, so there's substantial risk in assuming he can keep this impressive run going. That said, he's almost certain to see his rostership creep up in fantasy -- especially in deeper leagues -- after his second straight excellent start.

Picks up win Friday Freeland (1-0) tossed six shutout innings and earned a win over San Diego on Friday. He allowed three hits and a walk while striking out one.

Impact Freeland leaned on his defense all night with just one punchout and two total whiffs. The only batter that gave him much trouble was Ha-Seong Kim, who knocked two doubles. Freeland needed just 74 pitches (48 strikes) in the easy win. He's scheduled for a home tilt with the Nationals next week.

Lined up as No. 2 starter Freeland is lined up to start the second game of the regular season for the Rockies, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact German Marquez was announced Friday as the team's Opening Day starter next Thursday at San Diego, and Freeland will then follow him in the Colorado rotation mix. This also puts Freeland on track to start the Rockies' home opener April 6 versus the Nationals. The 29-year-old left-hander worked to a 4.53 ERA and 131:53 K:BB over 174.2 innings (31 starts) last season.

Added to WBC roster Freeland's agency announced Monday that he has been named to the Team USA roster for the World Baseball Classic.

Impact Freeland is the replacement for Nestor Cortes, who will miss the World Baseball Classic because of a Grade 2 hamstring strain. The left-hander could be in line to make starts for USA coming off a 2022 campaign where he recorded a 4.53 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131:53 K:BB in 174.2 innings over 31 starts with the Rockies. He's expected to pitch near the top of the Colorado rotation in 2023 after competing in the WBC.

One out shy of quality start Freeland allowed a run on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Freeland got through his last start of the season by bending but not breaking. He exited with runners on the corners and two outs in the sixth inning, falling one out shy of what would have been his 14th quality start this year. He then saw the victory slip away as the Dodgers rallied to tie the game in the seventh. Freeland ends the campaign with a 4.53 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 131:53 K:BB through 174.2 innings across 31 starts. Playing his home games at Coors Field did him no favors -- Freeland had a 6.00 ERA across 87 innings at home, but it was nearly half that (3.08) in 87.2 innings on the road.
