With Friday’s home opener loss in tow, the Rockies head into Saturday one game behind the new, NL West leading Padres.
Kyle Freeland has the ball tonight, in which he is looking for his second win of the season. Last Sunday, Freeland pitched six innings, gave up two runs and struck out five in the Rockies’ win against the Rangers. Tonight, it is leftie vs. leftie as Freeland faces Joey Lucchesi.
Lucchesi brings to the mound a 4.91 ERA after his short appearance against the D-backs on Monday. Of the 17 batters Lucchesi faced, he allowed five hits and two runs over the course of 3 2⁄3 innings pitched.
