PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ke’Bryan Hayes had three hits and scored the tiebreaking run on Yoshi Tsutsugo’s infield single in the eighth inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Monday night. Hayes was happy to manufacture a run, especially after the Pirates had been 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position before Tsutsugo’s hit. Pirates starter JT Brubaker gave up only one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings on five hits yet remained winless in nine starts this season. Brubaker’s throwing error led to the Rockies eventually scoring their run in the fourth inning on Randal Grichuk’s double play to make it 1-all.
