Choo Freeman led Atlanta to a win over Colorado. The final score was 19-9. The center fielder had a huge performance. He whacked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Jose G. Valdez earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record is now 1-2. Mitchell Boggs closed it out for his 1st save.

With Atlanta leading 13-9 in the bottom of the fourth, Freeman came up to bat against Colorado pitcher Esmerling Vasquez. Freeman hit a curveball to right for a 3-run home run. His 19th home run of the season put the Braves on top, 16-9.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Freeman.

Atlanta has now won 7 straight, while the Rockies have lost 3 in a row.
