Pirates hope to find offense against Rockies

Pittsburgh is 5-16 over its past 21 contests, averaging 2.5 runs in that span. Shortstop Oneil Cruz is hitting .239 with three home runs for the Pirates, who have lost four straight and seven of their last eight. Colorado can certainly relate to the Pirates' frustration. The Rockies fell to a National League-worst 7-24 with a 10-inning, 5-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
