It’s Tuesday, July 8 and the Rockies (21-70) are in Boston to take on the Red Sox (47-45). Kyle Freeland is slated to take the mound for Colorado against Brayan Bello for Boston. The Red Sox dominated game 1 of the series, 9-3, behind three homers, including the first at Fenway Park via No. 1 prospect Roman Anthony.
