Pittsburgh is home to the “Immaculate Reception,” but there were no miracle endings for the Rockies on Friday night.
The Pirates blanked them 9-0 at PNC Park, pounding starting right-hander Antonio Senzatela, though not quite like they did on Aug. 1 at Coors Field.
In that wild game, the Rockies trailed 9-0 after the first inning, and Pittsburgh ravaged Senzatela for seven runs on eight hits and two walks in a mere two-thirds of an inning. But the Rockies rallied for a 17-16 walk-off victory.
Friday night, Senzatela wasn’t good, but hung around for four innings, giving up five runs on eight hits.
