Colorado Rockies game no. 11 thread: Kyle Gibson vs Kyle Freeland

Will probably be a Kyle vs Kyle matchup Tuesday night because the Phillies and Rockies lock up at Coors Subject. Colorado will try and safe the collection victory after profitable recreation one the evening prior.

Kyle Freeland (0-2, 10.00 ERA) is making an attempt to log his first stable begin of the season. Permitting 5 earned runs in each of his begins, he’s been harm by the “one huge inning” every time (5 runs within the fifth inning of Opening Day, and three runs within the first body of his begin on Thursday). The fan-favorite lefty will do his finest to search out consistency in his third time on the mound towards a Phillies crew that’s tagged him for a profession 4.50 ERA. Perhaps signing a brand new extension with Colorado earlier on Tuesday will mild a hearth for him.

Opposing him is veteran Kyle Gibson (1-1, 3.09 ERA). The longtime Minnesota stalwart is enjoying his first full season with Philadelphia after being traded there halfway via the season final yr. He made one begin towards Colorado in 2020, permitting two earned runs in his 6 ¹⁄₃ innings. The Rockies lineup of 2022 has fairly a unique look than 2020, although, so he could discover extra hassle this time round.

Three Rockies have confronted Gibson greater than 3 times – Randal Grichuk (9 at-bats), C.J. Cron (14), and José Iglesias (20). These three are hitting .000, .286, and .100, respectively, towards the right-hander. Maybe a few of the newer Rockies equivalent to Connor Joe and Brendan Rodgers can discover some success. Within the Phillies’ case, Freeland has stored 2021 MVP Bryce Harper in verify, as evidenced by Harper’s profession .214 common versus the lefty. Jean Segura, in the meantime, is 4-for-9. No different Phillies have greater than 4 at-bats towards Freeland.

Colorado’s already-stellar bullpen might be boosted by the returns of Lucas Gilbreath and Robert Stephenson from the COVID-IL; one or each of them might make their season debut in aid.
