Sustained prosperity remains an elusive proposition for the Colorado Rockies.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland reacts after striking out Washington Nationals’ Lane Thomas to end the top of the sixth inning of a baseball game, Sunday, June 23, 2024, in Denver. The Rockies were three outs from an improbable series win agains the Washington Nationals, before a calamitous top of the ninth inning Sunday afternoon.
Thomas was at third base instead of second ahead of a Meneses line drive to center because of a stolen base. That took away the need for a potential game-altering decision for Washington’s third base coach. The one hit he allowed was a slow chopper down the third-base line. Ryan McMahon’s throw ended up down the right-field line, giving Jacob Young a hit and two bases on the error. Young had just drawn a smattering of boos for attempting to bunt on the first pitch of the at-bat.
His first innings featured all kinds of weak contact and 14 consecutive outs on balls in play after a leadoff strikeout. He induced seven swings and misses in the sixth inning, five more than he had in the first five combined. Michael Toglia crushed a home run in the bottom of the second inning to open the scoring. Toglia’s blast traveled 462 feet into the second deck in right field.
