DENVER -- Pitching reigned supreme Monday night at Coors Field, as the Pirates and Rockies scratched out two and five hits, respectively, with the Rockies' first three hits coming in a two-run, fifth-inning rally. Immediately after the first run crossed the plate, the Rockies' hit parade was rained on with a 32-minute delay before play resumed and another run crossed the plate en route to Colorado dealing Pittsburgh a 2-0 defeat.
Starting pitcher Joe Musgrove retired the first 12 Rockies in order before Nolan Arenado led off the fifth with a single to right.
