Sanchez, Pirates rally past Rockies

<h3>PITTSBURGH 4, COLORADO 2 (11 INNINGS)</h3>DENVER (Ticker) -- Freddy Sanchez had an RBI single in the 11thinning and the Pittsburgh Pirates won their third straight gamewith a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

The Pirates started their seven-game road trip on a winning noteas Sanchez singled to center to score Cesar Izturis to givePittsburgh a 3-2 lead. Matt Kata scored later in the inningwhen Jason Bay was safe at first on a throwing error by GarrettAtkins to make it 4-2.


Matt Capps came on in the 11th and struck out one in a perfectframe for his 12th save of the season. Damaso Marte (2-0)nearly made a mess of the 10th inning, walking two, but heretired one batter to pick up the win.


Brian Fuentes (0-5) took the loss. He allowed two runs, one hitand one walk in 2/3 of an inning.


Fuentes' struggles capped a lousy performance by the Coloradobullpen and ruined a strong outing by rookie starter UbaldoJimenez.


Pittsburgh jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning but thatwas all it could muster against Jimenez.


Kata tripled down the line in right and scored on a groundout bySanchez.


Brad Hawpe pulled the Rockies even in the fourth with an RBIsingle. Troy Tulowitzki hit a solo home run in the seventh togive Colorado a 2-1 lead.


Jimenez worked around a leadoff double by Adam LaRoche toprotect the lead in the seventh. He allowed one run and fivehits with four strikeouts. Jimenez did not walk a batter inturning in his second consecutive stellar effort. He pitchedsix scoreless innings with a season-high nine strikeouts inWednesday's 3-0 win over the San Diego Padres.


The Rockies brought on LaTroy Hawkins in the eighth, opening thedoor for the Pirates to get back in the game, and they did.Josh Phelps his a one-out homer to left field to tie the game2-2.


Pittsburgh starter Matt Morris was nearly as effective asJimenez, allowing two runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.

 

Sanchez, Pirates rally past Rockies

<h3>PITTSBURGH 4, COLORADO 2 (11 INNINGS)</h3>DENVER (Ticker) -- Freddy Sanchez had an RBI single in the 11thinning and the Pittsburgh Pirates won their third straight gamewith a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

The Pirates started their seven-game road trip on a winning noteas Sanchez singled to center to score Cesar Izturis to givePittsburgh a 3-2 lead. Matt Kata scored later in the inningwhen Jason Bay was safe at first on a throwing error by GarrettAtkins to make it 4-2.


Matt Capps came on in the 11th and struck out one in a perfectframe for his 12th save of the season. Damaso Marte (2-0)nearly made a mess of the 10th inning, walking two, but heretired one batter to pick up the win.


Brian Fuentes (0-5) took the loss. He allowed two runs, onehit and one walk in 2/3 of an inning.


Fuentes' struggles capped a lousy performance by the Coloradobullpen and ruined a strong outing by rookie starter UbaldoJimenez.


"He pitched extremely well," Colorado Rockies manager ClintHurdle said. "Even the way he finished the sixth inning and theseventh inning. He showed poise when he got traffic on base andhe made pitches. Another fine outing for him. It was very goodto see."


Pittsburgh jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning but thatwas all it could muster against Jimenez.


Kata tripled down the line in right and scored on a groundout bySanchez.


Brad Hawpe pulled the Rockies even in the fourth with an RBIsingle. Troy Tulowitzki hit a solo home run in the seventh togive Colorado a 2-1 lead.


"That definitely hurt," Tulowitzki said. "Any time you lose agame late when you have a lead, especially it's been happening alittle lately, it definitely hurts. We've still got some time,but, we're running out."


Jimenez worked around a leadoff double by Adam LaRoche toprotect the lead in the seventh. He allowed one run and fivehits with four strikeouts. Jimenez did not walk a batterinturning in his second consecutive stellar effort. He pitchedsix scoreless innings with a season-high nine strikeouts inWednesday's 3-0 win over the San Diego Padres.


The Rockies brought on LaTroy Hawkins in the eighth, opening thedoor for the Pirates to get back in the game, and they did.Josh Phelps hit a one-out homer to left field to tie the game2-2.


"Josh Phelps had a huge hit off the bench and has been big forus ever since joining the club," Pirates manager Jim Tracy said."Sanchez had a big at-bat as well. He has done that three orfour times in the past few days."


"I was looking for a pitch that I could handle and it stayed uplong enough to get out of the park," Phelps said. "Pinchhitting is a difficult job because you only get one chance, youneed a little luck up there too."


Pittsburgh starter Matt Morris was nearly as effective asJimenez, allowing two runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.

"I haven't been in a game like that in a while," Morris said."It was good to make pitches, I've been struggling a little andjust trying to stay focused out there. The team fought hard tothe end. It seems like if we have a chance, were going to pullit off."
