5-1 win gives Pittsburgh it's fifth win

The 5-1 win gave Pittsburgh just its fifth win on the road this season.
DENVER (AP) -- Ian Snell struck out a career-high 10 and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 Monday night for a rare road win.
Snell (6-3) allowed two earned runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings for the Pirates, who improved the majors' worst road record to 5-22 and extended the Rockies' losing streak to a season-high six games.
Colorado, which was swept by Florida over the weekend, has been outscored 26-6 in their four consecutive losses at Coors Field to the two worst teams in the National League, during which they've never had the lead.
Fans six in first three
Snell struck out six batters in the first three innings, when he threw 29 of 35 pitches for strikes. Mike Gonzalez pitched the ninth for his eighth save in eight chances.
Aaron Cook (5-6) was decent through six innings, allowing three earned runs and nine hits, including six singles. But he was lifted for Ray King after the Pirates loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Craig Wilson grounded into a run-scoring double play to make it 4-1 and Freddy Sanchez followed with his second RBI single of the game.
Cook was charged with 10 hits and five runs in six-plus innings.
Colorado pulled to 5-2 on pinch-hitter Ryan Spilborghs' run-scoring single in the bottom half.
Rockies struggling
The Rockies have dropped 11 of 13, the primary culprit being an inability to connect in the clutch, which has left the pitching staff with hardly any wiggle room. Four of their six losses during their current skid have been by one or two runs.
Omar Quintanilla, who struck out three times against Snell and grounded into a double play to kill a seventh-inning rally, got the start at second base for the Rockies one day after his callup from Triple-A Colorado Springs and was tested right away.
He missed a diving stab at Jason Bay's first-inning bloop single that landed in the grass in shallow right field to drive in a run.
Jose Castillo added a run-scoring single in the fourth and Sanchez made it 3-0 with an RBI single an inning later. The Rockies cut it to 3-1 in the bottom of the fifth when Brad Hawpe tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Clint Barmes.
