Brenton Doyle hits home run

The Colorado Rockies ended a five-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, thanks to standout performances from Brenton Doyle and Kyle Freeland. Doyle hit a decisive home run in the eighth inning, marking his 11th homer in July and extending his impressive month with a .337 batting average. Freeland pitched seven strong innings, allowing only one run and earning his third win in four starts. The Rockies had previously faced a tough loss against the Angels, where Matt Thaiss drove in a career-high five runs and Jo Adell hit a go-ahead homer to lead Los Angeles to a comeback victory in a 10-7 game. Ezequiel Tovar continued his hitting streak, contributing to both games, while the Rockies struggle with their away record. This recent win marks a positive turn for the Rockies amidst a challenging season, contrasting with their earlier defeat against the Angels where they fell apart after leading.
