In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies, despite a solid outing until the seventh inning, dropped the series opener, 5-3, to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Tonight, they will look to even the series.
Starting for the Rockies is Kyle Freeland. This will be his ninth start for the Rockies in 2026.
The lefty has a 7.04 ERA in 38.1 IP. He’s struck out 35, walked 14, and given up nine home runs. Freeland has a1.70 WHIP.
Taking the mound for the home team will be LHP Eric Lauer in what will be his first start for the Dodgers.
