The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their fifth-straight game in a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Friday night at PNC Park.

The Pirates (14-19) were getting blanked until the ninth inning when Oneil Cruz belted a two-run home run into the Allegheny River but the Rockies (8-24) held on for the win.
