The Pittsburgh Pirates continued their unexpectedly strong start to the season on Monday night when they crushed the Colorado Rockies 14-3 behind homers from Andrew McCutchen and Jack Suwinski and a good start from new pitcher Rich Hill.
Cutch got things started in the first with his third homer of the season before Pittsburgh erupted for eight total runs in the second and third innings, mostly coming on small ball. Other than the two dingers, Rodolfo Castro’s double was the only other extra base hit for the Bucs out of a total of 16.
