Freeland (7-3) pitched 6.1 innings, allowing one run on six hits with five strikeouts in Wednesday's 8-1 win over Cleveland.
This was another solid outing for the 24-year-old rookie, as he earned his seventh win of the season. A solo home run in the seventh from Jose Ramirez was all the Indians could muster. Home runs have been a bit of an issue for Freeland. He's given up a long ball in five straight starts, but four of the six long balls during that stretch have been solo shots, so he's minimizing the damage. The best stat for Freeland on Wednesday was his zero walks, since he'd walked two or more in 10 of his 11 starts this year prior to Wednesday. He's scheduled to take on the Pirates on Monday in what looks like a favorable matchup against Chad Kuhl.
