DENVER (AP) — Kyle Freeland outpitched Clayton Kershaw, and Brendan Rodgers had three hits as the Colorado Rockies snapped a six-game skid against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 5-3 win.
Freeland followed up his seven shutout innings at Milwaukee on Monday with another solid start, allowing three runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
In two outings since the All-Star break, the lefty is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA.
Daniel Bard gave up a two-out double in the ninth but earned his 22nd save.
Bard signed a $19 million, two-year contract Saturday to stay with the Rockies through 2024.
Trea Turner homered for the Dodgers to extend his hitting streak to 17 games.
