Before Thursday game, Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland had 0.778 Wins (Innings Pitched in 4 separate starts) and 2.225 Losses (True Runs) in 21 1/3 Innings Pitched and a 5.40 ERA (5.82 True Run Average).

His True Earned Runs Won-Lost Record before Thursday's game was 0.778 Wins (Innings Pitched in 4 separate starts) and 2.142 Losses (True Earned Runs) and a 5.40 True ERA.

According to what we all knew before Thursday's game, Freeland's record was 1-3 and he had given up 13 earned runs and 14 runs.

After Thursday's game, in a Philadelphia Phillies loss to the Rockies 6-2, his record is now 2-3 with a 4.23 ERA (4.23 True ERA).

Freeland didn't give up any runs in six innings pitched. He gave up just two hits and struck out seven.

Freeland retired 18 of the 20 batters he faced, which is pretty impressive by any standard.

He has been the determining factor in a Rockies winner or loser in every start (five starts) this season.

Now Freeland has helped the Rockies win 1.444 games and has 2.225 True Runs Losses and 2.142 True Earned Run Average Losses. His win total is only second to teammate German Marquez.

In fact, Freeland is the only Rockies pitcher other than Marquez who has a sum total (in all of his games played) of one or more victories.

Freeland's True Run Average is now 4.55 and his True ERA is now 4.23.

His pitching performance this season is 3 wins and 2 losses. In a Rockies loss at the San Francisco Giants, he had a winning performance on April 13th in which his innings pitched outweighed the number of runs he gave up.

German Marquez, the Rockies starting pitcher tonight (Friday) comes in with a record of 2-1 and a 2.00 ERA. He has given up 6 runs in 27 innings pitched this season.

His true Won-Lost Record this season is 2.303 wins and 0.714 losses.

Marquez's pitching performance is two wins and two losses this season in four starts.

He gave up just one run to the Marlins on March 29th and thus, gets tagged with a loss for his pitching performance in that game (even though the Rockies won that game 6-1). The Rockies have a record of 3-1 in Marquez's starts.

Marquez has helped the Rockies win more games this season (on the pitching side), than any other Rockies pitcher.

Antonio Senzatela (1-0) is scheduled to start Saturday's game for the Rockies. He has given up one run in 6 2/3 innings pitched this season with a 1.35 ERA.

Senzatela's true Won-Lost Record this season is 0.741 wins and 0 losses in one start and his pitching performance is one win and zero losses.

Jon Gray (1-3, 3.42 ERA) is scheduled to start Sunday's game for the Rockies. He has given up 10 runs in 26 1/3 innings pitched this season with a 3.42 ERA.

Gray's true Won-Lost Record this season is 0.778 wins and 2.714 losses in four starts this season.

His pitching performance is one win and three losses this season.

The Rockies 4.11 ERA as a team is 12th in the Majors and their ERA is 5th (out of 11) among teams with a sub .500 record.

The next series for the Rockies will be three games vs. the Washington Nationals.
