PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ryan McMahon homered into the Allegheny River, Cal Quantrill pitched into the eighth inning and the Colorado Rockies edged struggling Pittsburgh 3-2.
Colorado led the entire way after trailing at some point in each of its first 31 games this season, a modern-era record.
McMahon put the Rockies in front when he opened the sixth with a drive over the right-field stands against Martín Pérez for his fifth homer. Oneil Cruz hit a late two-run homer for the Pirates.
Pittsburgh has dropped five straight and 14 of 17.
