Franklin Morales retired the first two men in the 14th, but then issued a four-pitch walk to Rodriguez. Tabata followed by smashing a 3-1 offering high off the wall to give the Pirates their fifth win in eight games this season.

Colorado's Jason Giambi hit a three-run homer in the first but the Rockies could not score again off seven Pittsburgh hurlers.

Garrett Olson (1-1), the last of those pitchers, worked the final two innings to get the win.

Morales (0-1) was the eighth Colorado pitcher of the contest. Tabata hit a solo homer in the fifth.
