Rockies' Jose Urena pitched well for the first three innings, save for the opposite-field solo homer Jack Suwkinski in the second. But as so often happens with Urena, he was unable to sustain his success, which explains his 9.82 ERA after four starts.
Hampered by poor starting pitching and an inability to get the big hit in the big moment, the Rockies lost 5-3 to Pittsburgh Tuesday night at Coors Field. An announced crowd of 19,495 watched Colorado lose its seventh consecutive game as the Pirates lit up starter Jose Urena to clinch the three-game series.
Maybe so, but at 5-13, Colorado has the worst record in franchise history after 18 games, as well as the worst record in the National League. The Rockies have yet to win a series this season, losing four series and splitting two. But Velasquez found his rhythm and held the Rockies scoreless over the next five innings, allowing only one more hit, a two-out single by Ezequiel Tovar in the fourth. It wasn’t a dominant performance — three runs allowed on five hits over six innings — but Velasquez struck out seven and the Rockies were 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position against him.
