Rocktober once more: Rox secure playoff spot
(MLB.com Colorado Rockies)

Friday was a crowning night for homegrown pitcher Kyle Freeland and continued the coming out party for homegrown slugger David Dahl. Combined with some veteran friends, they brought home the Rockies` second straight postseason berth. Freeland grinded through six innings and held the Nationals to two runs, and Dahl homered in his fifth straight game as the Rockies won, 5-2, before a Coors Field sellout crowd of 48,084 that bought tickets for fireworks but came for a celebration. It was their eighth straight victory.
