The Milwaukee Brewers go for a series sweep of the Colorado Rockies on June 7 at Coors Field.
Follow along for live updates from Denver as left-hander Shane Drohan (2-1, 2.87) opposes left-hander Kyle Freeland (1-6, 8.06) on the mound.
Luis Rengifo puts Brewers on the board
The hardest-hit ball as a Brewer by Luis Rengifo got the Brewers’ scoring started against Kyle Freeland.
Rengifo turned around a pitch at 109.2 mph up the middle with two outs in the second and it skipped all the way to the fence 415 feet away, allowing even Andrew Vaughn to churn all the way home from first.
Defense allows Rockies to score two in first
Shane Drohan’s line indicated he gave up two earned runs in the first. In reality, it should have been none.
A pair of defensive miscues that didn’t go down as errors hurt the Brewers as the Rockies jumped ahead early. First, Brice Turang lost a pop-up in the sun to give Willi Castro a leadoff single. Not a minute later, Garrett Mitchell whiffed on an Ezequiel Tovar liner to center, allowing it to skirt past for a double.
A fly ball and soft grounder later, Tovar scored to make it 2-0.
