Game Preview
The Colorado Rockies look to rebound from their three-game series loss to the Cincinnati Reds by hosting Los Angeles Angels on Friday June 23rd at Coors Field in Denver. The Los Angeles Angels have won six out of their last ten games.
Colorado has lost 8 consecutive games and is 2-8 in its previous 10 matches overall. The Rockies were knocked off the top spot in the NL West division rankings by 17.5 games after being swept by Atlanta and Cincinnati in back-to-back series.
In this game, the Rockies will turn to right-handed Kyle Freeland who has had an excellent season so far with 4-8 record and 4.38 ERA despite struggling against left-handed batters (he is currently 0-5 with 7.14 ERA against them this year). Freeland boasts an above-average fastball that reaches 94 MPH while possessing excellent control of his pitches.
He will face an Angels lineup that features several power bats. They rank 5th in the league in home runs with 108. This team features Mike Trout, Hunter Renfroe, as well as quality bat Shohei Ohtani, who is currently leading the team with a .292 batting average, 24 home runs, 58 RBI and a .377 OBP, as stars to look out for.
Sandoval will get the series’ opening pitch for Los Angeles. In his previous start, he kept Kansas City scoreless while allowing just 4 hits and 4 walks over 7 innings. After 2 disappointing outings versus Houston and Seattle (11 earned runs on 18 hits in 8.1 combined innings), it was a notable comeback performance. Sandoval has a 54:29 K:BB ratio for the season despite never facing the Rockies.
In the past 13 encounters in Colorado, the Angels are 11-2, and over the previous 29 encounters, they are 21-8. The Rockies have an 0-4 record in Freeland’s past 4 outdoor starts, and a 0-7 record against the American League West overall.
