Beck’s 3-Run Homer Lifts Rockies to 8-5 Win over over Pirates, Skenes
DENVER, COLORADO, AUG 2 – Jordan Beck hit his 13th home run to break Paul Skenes' 18-inning scoreless streak as the Rockies won 8-5, despite an injury to closer Seth Halvorsen.
- The Colorado Rockies defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-5 on Saturday, August 2, 2025, in Denver.
- The win followed a six-run sixth inning sparked by Jordan Beck's three-run homer that ended Paul Skenes' scoreless streak.
- Warming Bernabel added two doubles and a single, continuing his seven-game hitting streak while Liover Peguero hit three homers for Pittsburgh.
- Colorado’s top closer, Seth, who has recorded 11 saves this season, exited in the ninth inning due to discomfort in his right arm after delivering just five pitches. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer expressed concern, stating, "It don't look good."
- The victory helped Colorado, with a 30-80 record, avoid matching the 2024 Chicago White Sox's modern era record for losses, but Halvorsen's injury clouds the team's outlook.
