Game Updates
The Colorado Rockies' offense erupted in an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon, powered by a relentless attack that wore down Pittsburgh's pitching staff. Jordan Beck delivered the decisive blow with a three-run homer in the third inning, part of a 2-for-3 performance that included three RBIs, while Warming Bernabel continued his scorching stretch with a 3-for-4 day. The Rockies' lineup collected 12 hits against five Pirates pitchers, with six different players driving in runs. Even as Pittsburgh's Liover Peguero tried to keep his team in it with a 3-for-5 effort, Colorado's balanced attack proved too much.
Pirates ace Paul Skenes showed flashes of dominance with eight strikeouts in five innings, but the Rockies made him pay for two costly mistakes—both leaving the yard. Colorado's bullpen held firm after starter Austin Gomber's shaky outing, with Juan Mejia and Victor Vodnik combining for two scoreless frames to preserve the lead. The win snaps a three-game skid for the Rockies, while the Pirates' struggles continue as their offense beyond Peguero went silent when it mattered most.
