Losing streak over, Pirates hunting more offense vs. Rockies

Losing streak over, Pirates hunting more offense vs. Rockies

The Pittsburgh Pirates have one fewer funk to shed entering Sunday's game against the visiting Colorado Rockies in the rubber match of the teams' three-game set. Pittsburgh's offense remains mired in a prolonged slump, but the Pirates snapped their five-game losing streak with a 1-0 walk-off win over Colorado on Saturday. "We've been fighting, we've been working really hard, so to get that, it's great," said Pittsburgh outfielder Jack Suwinski, who delivered the game-winning, pinch-hit RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning. Suwinski's swing lifted the Pirates to just their fourth win over their past 18 games after Pittsburgh began the year 11-5.
