Freeland's Possible Coors Field Farewell Highlights Rockies-Diamondbacks

The Denver native could be making his final home start for Colorado as Arizona continues chasing a slim postseason berth.

The Colorado Rockies host the Arizona Diamondbacks at Coors Field on Tuesday, with first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. MT. Kyle Freeland starts for Colorado against Arizona right-hander Michael Soroka.

The Rockies enter the game with 99 losses, meaning a defeat would clinch another 100-loss season. For Freeland, the start could carry extra weight: his contract expires after this season, and there has been no indication whether the Rockies intend to bring him back in 2027.

Freeland, a Denver native and Thomas Jefferson High School product, debuted with Colorado on April 7, 2017. He is one of four pitchers to spend 10 major league seasons with the franchise, alongside Antonio Senzatela, Germán Márquez and Aaron Cook.

In 2026, Freeland is 4-10 with a 6.38 ERA across 24 starts, interrupted by two injured-list stints for left shoulder inflammation and cervical radiculopathy. He is 4-10 with a 6.28 ERA in 23 career appearances against Arizona.

Soroka, who signed with the Diamondbacks as a free agent last winter, is 1-2 with a 3.20 ERA in five career outings against Colorado. In his lone start at Coors Field on May 17, he allowed two runs over 5.2 innings.

Arizona's magic number to reach the postseason is 3, though its chances remain slim. The game airs on Rockies.TV, with radio coverage on KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM and KNRV 1150 in Spanish.
