The Rockies surely hate being a foregone conclusion. But they certainly were that going into Tuesday night’s game in Atlanta against Braves ace Chris Sale.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale throws in the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies, Tuesday, Sep. 3, 2024, in Atlanta. The Rockies surely hate being a foregone conclusion. But they certainly were that going into Tuesday night’s game in Atlanta.
Still, with lefty starter Kyle Freeland pitching five gutsy innings, the Rockies stayed in the game. Before his early departure because of a finger blister , Freeland limited the Braves to two runs on six hits. He fanned five and didn’t walk any. Colorado’s best chance to get to Sale came in the sixth. Ezequiel Tovar led off with a triple to right, his third triple this season. But Sale reared back and unleashed his 96 mph fastball to strike out Brendan Rodgers and Brenton Doyle before getting Michael Toglia to fly out to deep center where Harris made an excellent catch against the wall.
