The Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the Colorado Rockies 8-0 last night. Outfielder Ka’ai Tom broke up a no-hitter with a single in the eighth inning of the game. They managed just that one hit in the game off Rockies starter German Marquez, who threw a complete game. Pirates starting pitcher Chase DeJong allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings of work. Reliever Cody Ponce allowed three more runs in his three innings.
