Three batters in to their half of the first inning, the Colorado Rockies had a three-run lead. But as has been the case far too many times this season, a large early lead disappeared. The Pittsburgh Pirates scored five times in the third inning and thrice more in the fifth on their way to a 9-6 win over the Rockies at Coors Field. Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez each homered in the first to spark the Rockies offense, but starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie suffered through another Coors-induced nightmare. Guthrie failed to make it out of the third inning in an outing that saw his ERA at home soar to 9.51. Former Husker Andrew Brown had three hits and drove in two runs for the Rockies in his first start for the team. The Rockies are off today before beginning a six-game road trip in San Diego Friday night.
