NATIONAL LEAGUE Castillo, Pirates topple Rockies

Jose Castillo drove in a career-high three runs for the Bucs.
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Jose Castillo drove in a career-high three runs to back a wild Oliver Perez, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies, 6-1 Saturday night.
Castillo and Craig Wilson homered for the Pirates, who had lost two straight after winning four in a row. Pittsburgh is 16-6 when hitting two or more home runs.
Castillo, a rookie second baseman, was 3-for-4 with two singles.
Perez (8-6) matched his career high with seven walks, but allowed only one run and two hits in six innings, striking out six. Salomon Torres and Mike Gonzalez combined for three-hit relief.
Vinny Castilla homered for the second straight game for the Rockies, 4-2 on their seven-game road trip. Jamey Wright (1-1), making his fifth start since he signed with Colorado on July 22, allowed six runs, eight hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings.
Castilla's 25th homer put Colorado ahead in the second, but Castillo hit an RBI single in the bottom half and Pittsburgh went ahead on Wilson's run-scoring groundout.
Castillo homered in the fourth and Wilson in the fifth, making it 4-1. Wilson's homer was his team-leading 21st.
Castillo added an RBI single later in the inning, and Jack Wilson walked against Allan Simpson later in the inning, forcing in a run.
