Punchless Rockies lose to Diamondbacks, waste Kyle Freeland’s strong start

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:50:06 GMT

The Rockies sure know how to spoil a good thing.Friday night at Coors Field they received a stellar start from Kyle Freeland and a highlight reel catch from rookie center fielder Brenton Doyle.Naturally, they lost to Arizona, 9-1, sliding to 8-19 overall. The culprits were familiar ones: a punchless offense (1-for-5 with runners in scoring position), and a shaky defense. A ninth-inning meltdown by the bullpen was just salt in the wound.Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly limited Colorado to one run over six innings on six hits and one walk. He struck out five.C.J. Cron, who entered the game buried in a 2-for-21 slump, and who grounded into a rally-killing double play in the first inning, finally delivered in the third with an RBI single, making it 1-1. Cron steered Kelly’s 3-1 pitch into right field, scoring Ezequiel Tovar, who led off the inning with a single up the middle.But from that point on, the Rockies were stymied by Kelly and Arizona’s bullpen, not recording a hi...
