Summary
Kyle Freeland just became the second Rockies pitcher ever to reach 1,000 strikeouts, tossing seven innings and eight Ks to hit the milestone — now just one strikeout shy of Germán Márquez’s all-time team record. The game was a thriller: Freeland left the Rockies up, but the Pirates rallied — until Braxton Fulford delivered a clutch two-run double in the eighth. Then, in the top of the ninth, Antonio Senzatela, another rookie classmate, erased the bases loaded with two strikeouts and a double play to seal a 4-3 win — even requiring a final out review. Freeland’s season has been a rollercoaster, including shoulder issues and a rough patch, but he’s rediscovered his form, mixing fastball, knuckle-curve, and sweeper. He tipped his cap to fans and knows Márquez is cheering him on — and now Freeland’s all-in to chase down his teammate’s record.
