    Trevor Story showed signs of snapping out of his early season funk over the weekend, even as the Colorado Rockies shortstop whiffed over and over against the Washington Nationals.

    The proof arrived Monday night at frigid PNC Park after he quickly fell behind Pittsburgh starter Steven Brault with two runners on in the fourth inning. Story worked the count even, and when Brault's 82 mph slider didn't end up in the dirt as Brault planned, Story's hitless skid was over.

    Story turned on Brault's offering and sent it into the bleachers in left field for a three-run home run that propelled the Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Pirates. Story later added a single for just his second multihit game of the season, boosting his average from .177 to .200.
