Stewart's grand slam powers Rockies past Pirates

<h3>COLORADO 9, PITTSBURGH 2</h3>DENVER (Ticker) -- Ian Stewart made his first home run amemorable one.


Stewart blasted a grand slam as Elmer Dessens and TaylorBuchholz combined to pitch eight solid innings to lead theColorado Rockies to a 9-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates onTuesday.


Stewart sent a 2-1 offering from Pirates starter Tony Armas(2-4) just over the left-center field wall to give the Rockies a4-1 advantage in the third inning.


Yorvit Torrealba and Jamey Carroll led off the inning withback-to-back singles. After Dessens' sacrifice bunt, RyanSpilborghs drew a four-pitch walk, which set the stage forStewart to deliver his first career homer.


The 22-year-old rookie became the second player in franchisehistory to hit a grand slam with his first career blast. Thefirst was Jim Tatum, who accomplished the feat on May 4, 1993.

Playing in just his eighth game, Stewart is now 4-for-12 (.333)with six RBI in his major-league career.


Colorado starter Dessens gave up two runs on six hits and threewalks over 4 2/3 innings before Buchholz (6-4) entered to pitch3 1/3 scoreless frames.


Buchholz, who retired 10 of the 11 batters he faced, inheritedtwo base runners in the fifth inning but was able to get JasonBay to pop out to end the threat.


Matt Holliday belted a solo shot as part of a three-run fifththat opened the Rockies advantage to 7-2.


Rookie Troy Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe blasted back-to-back tohome runs in the seventh inning to give Colorado a 9-2 lead. Itwas the second time this season the Rockies have hitback-to-back homers, the first coming on June 15 against theTampa Bay Devil Rays.


The four home runs was a season-high for Colorado, which avoid athree-game losing streak.


Armas hurled 4 1/3 innings, yielding seven runs and eight hitswith three walks and four strikeouts as Pittsburgh had athree-game winning streak snapped.


Nate McLouth gave the Pirates an early 1-0 advantage in thethird with his eighth home run of the season.
