DENVER (AP) — Jack Suwinski homered twice and drove in three runs, Vince Velasquez recovered from a rough start to pitch six solid innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat Colorado 5-3, sending the Rockies to a season-high seventh consecutive loss.
Connor Joe had a double and a triple against his former team, and Carlos Santana added a run-scoring double for the Pirates, who have won seven of their last nine road games.
Kris Bryant homered and Elías Díaz had a two-run double in the first for the Rockies, who did not score over the final eight innings.
Velasquez allowed five hits, only one after the first inning.
