Pirates' faith in Suwinski is being rewarded. What's clicking?

DENVER -- It may not be PNC Park, but maybe Coors Field is a home away from home for Jack Suwinski.

As a rookie last year, Suwinski had legendarily drastic home-road splits, hitting just .112 with three home runs away from PNC Park. While Coors Field is the epitome of a hitter's park, rattling off three straight home runs -- including two Tuesday in the Pirates' 5-3 win over the Rockies -- has to show that something is going right for the young outfielder.

"He likes PNC, but I'm pretty sure that he would sign up for this to be second," Derek Shelton joked.
