Getting your player ready...
Freddie Freeman walked into stardom this week, reminding the industry why he was the preseason favorite for National League rookie of the year honors. The first baseman clubbed four home runs in the series, giving him 13 for the season. Over the last five games, he’s 8-for-16 with eight RBIs.
Mental mistake.
The Rockies continue to struggle to do the little things. When Mark Ellis scored on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, Ian Stewart neglected to move up to third base, caught off guard by the play.
Daytime blues.
Colorado has dropped seven straight day games, dating to June 19.
