Rockies down big early, rally to within one, then lose big anyway 13-7

For a little bit there, it looked like the Rockies might pull off a big comeback. A rally in the middle innings brought the score from 7-1 to 7-6, thanks in large part to a Tom Murphy three run home run. But the offense stalled and John Axford had an apocalyptic ninth inning to dash any hopes of LoDo magic. The Pirates won their second straight in the series by a score of 13-7.

Christian Bergman was not particularly effective, working only 3 2/3 innings and surrendering seven runs.
