Freeland Fans 10 Over Eight as Rockies Blank Padres 3-0

All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman tied the Rockies’ single-season home run record for a catcher with his 28th.

Overview

  • Left-hander Kyle Freeland retired the first 13 batters and allowed two hits over eight innings, matching his career high with 10 strikeouts.
  • Goodman went 3-for-4 with a third-inning solo homer and a seventh-inning RBI double; Purple Row reported he also set the club’s single-season hits mark by a catcher.
  • Jordan Beck delivered a two-out RBI single in the fifth to extend Colorado’s lead to 2-0 at Coors Field.
  • Victor Vodnik secured his seventh save after the first two Padres reached in the ninth, ending it with a Manny Machado double-play grounder.
  • The start was Freeland’s first since an ejection three days earlier; Saturday’s probables are Rockies rookie McCade Brown and recalled Padres right-hander Randy Vasquez.
