Extra! Extra! Extra! Rockies drop “heartbreaker” to Pirates in 12

Denver – The Colorado Rockies didn’t go hard enough at da Blake against the Pittsburgh Pirates as their seven run comeback fell short.

Rockies starter Jon Gray, like Waka Flocka Flame left the contest earlier than expected as he was run after three-and-a-third after allowing six earned. With the help of Eddie Butler the Rockies stopped the bleeding and would end up tied with the visitors after the eighth. However, they failed to get another clutch hit and lost 9-8 in 12 innings.

On their way to their eighth straight win at Coors Field the Pirates rallied early tasking Gray for 26, 19 and 36 pitches in the first three innings.
