Rangers’ Jon Gray beats Rockies with strong start vs. former team

The Gray Wolf had a howling good time deep in the heart of Texas. Kyle Freeland, not so much. And so the anticipated matchup between the former Rockies teammates was a flop.

Rangers right-hander Jon Gray, known as the “Gray Wolf” during his time with Colorado from 2015-21, dominated the Rockies for five innings Saturday afternoon at Globe Life Field in the Rangers’ 11-5 win.

Freeland departed after just two innings, having given up eight runs (five earned) on nine hits. The lefty’s line resembled his other poor performance this season against the Pirates on April 17 at Coors Field when he was battered for nine runs (seven earned) on eight hits over 2 2/3 innings.
