Brewers Strike Back After Incredible Tenth Inning
Milwaukee just stole one from Colorado on Friday night. You won't believe what happened in the tenth. The Brewers trailed 5-3 heading into the ninth, then exploded with four straight runs. Bauers and Frelick drove in runs with huge hits. Vaughn delivered a go-ahead single that made the crowd gasp. Colorado answered back, but Milwaukee wasn't done. In the tenth inning, Bauers smashed a double that scored two more. Mitchell and Frelick added singles. Final score: Brewers 9, Rockies 7. This team knows how to finish games.
Brewers Pitching Has Big Shoes to Fill This Season
Milwaukee's rotation lost Freddy Peralta, but the Brewers aren't worried. They've got Jacob Misiorowski, a young right-hander with crazy arm talent. Quinn Priester also stepped up big last year. These arms need to prove they can stay strong all season long. The bullpen has Trevor Megill closing games with confidence. He recorded 30 saves last year. However, the Brewers are missing some key arms right now. Brandon Woodruff, DL Hall, and Brian Fitzpatrick are all on the injured list. Grant Anderson got hit by a line drive but should be back soon.
Kyle Freeland Takes the Mound for Colorado at Home
Kyle Freeland starts for the Rockies on Sunday. The veteran pitcher has been a steady presence in Colorado's rotation for years. Freeland came from Evansville and was drafted eighth overall in 2014. He knows Coors Field like nobody else. This year, Freeland's ERA sits at 4.39 over his recent starts. Colorado's pitching staff faces an uphill battle at Coors Field. The thin mountain air makes every pitch harder to control. Shane Drohan gets the call for Milwaukee. Both teams need this win badly.
