Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Logs quality start in loss
Kyle Freeland (5-17) took the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.It was a tough loss for Freeland, whose lone (but crucial) blemish came in the third inning, when he yielded a three-run homer to Casey Schmitt. Freeland will end the season with 17 losses, which is the most of his career and would lead the majors at the end of the season unless the Nationals' Mitchell Parker (9-16) were to take a loss out of the bullpen. Freeland will end the 2025 season with a 4.98 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 124:38 K:BB across 162.2 innings.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Takes 15th loss
Kyle Freeland (4-15) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 5.2 innings.All four of the runs Freeland allowed came in the second frame, though an inning-opening Colorado Rockies error meant that only one of those runs was earned. Nonetheless, Freeland was hardly sharp -- he gave up at least one hit in all but one of the frames in which he pitched and was pulled with two outs in the sixth after loading the bases. The southpaw's loss was his 15th of the campaign, tied for most in the majors with teammate Antonio Senzatela and Washington's Mitchell Parker. Freeland will look to avoid another defeat the next time he takes the mound, which is slated to be next week against Miami.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Bounces back with best start
Kyle Freeland (4-14) allowed two hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.Freeland got the nod Friday on short rest after his start Tuesday versus the Giants ended with him getting ejected just eight pitches in. The quick turnaround between starts didn't impact his rhythm, as he threw 64 of 88 pitches for strikes. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer didn't give Freeland the chance to complete what would have been his first career shutout, as the southpaw would have had to face the top of the Padres' order, so Victor Vodnik was brought in to convert the save. Even with the stellar start, Freeland still has a 5.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 107:34 K:BB over 139.1 innings across 27 starts. He's lined up to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Returning to hill Friday
Kyle Freeland is slated to start Friday's game against the Padres at Coors Field.Freeland will technically be taking the hill on just two days' rest, but he's unlikely to face any workload restrictions. During his start in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Giants, Freeland tossed just eight pitches before he was ejected in the first inning after taking exception to Rafael Devers' celebration of his two-run home run, which incited a fracas. The veteran southpaw heads into Friday's start with a 3-14 record, 5.41 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 97:34 K:BB in 131.1 innings on the season.
