Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown ended April on a sour note, hitting just .233 with three home runs in 97 trips to the plate. With two home runs in tonight’s loss to the Brewers, Brown moved into third place in the Major League leaderboard for home runs on the season with 15 as he wraps up a scorching hot month of May. It is his second multi-homer game in his last three games, has hit a homer in four out of his last five games, and is the defending National League Player of the Week. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a player who is seeing the baseball better than Dom Brown right now.

Brown also wraps up the month of May without having drawn a single walk, unintentional or otherwise, making him the first player in baseball history to hit at least ten home runs without drawing a walk in a single month.

Starter Kyle Freeland has been placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 19) due to a blister on his left middle finger, the Rockies announced. Tyler Anderson was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Monday night against the Nationals.

Freeland, 25, posted a 4.23 ERA with a 30/10 K/BB ratio in 27 2/3 innings across five starts to open the 2019 season. In his most recent start, the lefty tossed six shutout innings against the Phillies but wasn’t able to go out for the seventh inning due to the blister.

Anderson, 29, made two starts before left knee inflammation sidelined him. He has thus far yielded 11 runs on 18 hits and three walks with five strikeouts in nine innings.
