Pirates aim to keep win streak going against the Rockies
DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, AUG 1 – The Pirates have won eight of nine games and seek to match their longest winning streak this season against a Rockies team with a .259 winning percentage, one of MLB's worst.
- On Friday, the Pittsburgh Pirates aim to extend their five-game win streak when they visit the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field at 8:10 p.m. ET.
- Amid injuries to Zach Agnos, German Marquez and Ryan Ritter, the Colorado Rockies have struggled all season, with Beck contributing significantly offensively.
- Offensively, the Pirates display power with Andrew McCutchen being 7 for 42 with a double, two home runs and three RBIs over the last 10 games.
- Ahead of first pitch, the Pirates will start Andrew Heaney while the Rockies counter with Antonio Senzatela, and a win would tie Pittsburgh's longest winning streak of the season.
- Both clubs enter the series fifth in their divisions, with Colorado's.259 winning percentage among the worst in MLB history and Pittsburgh winning six of their last seven at Coors Field.
