Denver native Kyle Freeland has yet to make his first official pitch in the majors, but his first taste of big-league action this season against the Los Angeles Dodgers proved to be a bit of a struggle. One of the Colorado Rockies' top pitching prospects will make his major-league debut Friday when the Rockies host the Dodgers in their home opener.

Freeland opened the spring with a poor showing against Los Angeles on Feb. 28 - giving up four runs (three earned) over only two innings

The Dodgers figure to present a significant obstacle for Freeland after outscoring the San Diego Padres 27-10 while winning three of four at home against their National League West rival. Yasiel Puig sparked the offense in Thursday's 10-2 victory with two homers and three runs scored, and he was one of three Los Angeles hitters to drive in five runs during the series, joining Corey Seager and Joc Pederson.
I like the LA Dodgers to get the win this afternoon.
