The Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Friday night, with Braxton Fulford delivering the decisive hit in the late innings. Entering as a pinch-hitter, Fulford drives a go-ahead two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning, turning the game in Colorado’s favor. Pittsburgh had taken a 3-2 lead in the eighth after Jared Triolo hit an RBI double off Rockies starter Kyle Freeland, followed by a run-scoring single from pinch-hitter Bryan Reynolds and an RBI triple by Nick Gonzales against Jaden Hill. Freeland also reached a career milestone during the start, recording his 1,000th strikeout, the second Rockies player to reach that total. In the final frame, Colorado’s Antonio Senzatela prevents further damage, escaping a bases-loaded situation with no outs in the ninth to secure the win. The Pirates ultimately fall one run short despite their late-inning rally and extra-base hits.
