Pirates sweep Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Rodolfo Castro hit a 458-foot homer and drove in four runs, leading Pittsburgh over the Colorado Rockies 14-3 Wednesday to complete the Pirates’ first three-game sweep at Denver since 2019.
Colorado has lost eight straight games, its longest skid since nine in a row last Aug. 27 to Sept. 4. The Rockies are a National League-worst 5-14 and the game drew 18,511, the smallest crowd for a Coors Field game with unrestricted ticket sales since 18,341 on April 18, 2013.
Pittsburgh won the first and third games of the series by identical scores and outscored Colorado 33-9 this week, the Pirates’ most runs in a three-game series since July 28-30, 2000, against San Diego.
