Rockies’ Kyle Freeland injures right shoulder in 1-0 loss to Giants

by Admin


SAN FRANCISCO — The Rockies’ agonizing, frustrating, how-bad-can-it-get season just got significantly worse.

Veteran left-hander Kyle Freeland injured his right shoulder, perhaps seriously, while trying to make a diving play on Brett Wisely’s infield squibber near the mound during the seventh inning of Sunday’s game at Oracle Park.

The Giants, led by a complete-game shutout by right-hander Logan Webb, beat the Rockies 1-0 to clinch the three-game series.

Freeland stayed on the ground for several minutes and was in obvious pain as he departed the field, cradling his right arm. He is the fourth Rockies starter to go down with an injury this season, joining right-handers German Marquez (elbow, Tommy John surgery), Antonio Senzatela (sprained elbow ligament) and Ryan Feltner (fractured skull).
