Nick Pivetta Denis Poroy-Imagn Images The Rockies have as good a chance at winning the NL West as Balboa did when he underestimated Clubber Lang in their first fight.
But their Over/Under for wins this season is 54.5, and they had already won six times heading into their Saturday night game.
Kyle Freeland has made three solid starts, limiting opponents to four runs over 15 ²/₃ innings.
Nick Pivetta has made three starts as well, but there was one he would like back.
The Tigers scored six runs in his season debut, but Pivetta quickly recovered, giving up just five hits over his next 10 innings while striking out 16.
