Kyle Freeland pitched six solid innings, Aaron Schunk hit his first major league homer, and the Colorado Rockies defeated the Miami Marlins 8-2 on Wednesday night, capitalizing on four Marlins errors. Nolan Jones contributed with two RBI singles while Drew Romo and Ezequiel Tovar also added key hits. Freeland, marking his 200th career appearance, achieved his 800th career strikeout and his 59th career win, placing him fifth in Rockies history. The Rockies' bullpen provided a drama-free performance after a previous ninth-inning collapse against the Marlins, who have struggled with a 6-15 record in their last 21 games. Schunk's homer broke a tie in the fifth inning, and the Rockies extended their lead in the sixth with help from Miami's defensive mistakes.
