Pirates sweep Rockies, end road trip on ‘Mile High’ note

Thanks to an early offensive explosion and another stellar outing by Johan Oviedo, the Pittsburgh Pirates earned their second sweep of the young season with a 14-3 thrashing of the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

The Pirates put the game away early by scoring nine runs in the first two innings. Five came in the first frame, while four were plated in the second. Andrew McCutchen headlined the monstrous two innings with his fourth home run of the season in the second, a 442-foot laser to left center field.
