Ten-run seventh leads Pirates past Rockies, 11-4

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Nate McLouth had three of his four RBIs during a 10-run seventh inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates came from behind to take their second straight from the Colorado Rockies, 11-4 on Sunday.

The first 11 batters reached in the seventh for Pittsburgh, which trailed 4-1 entering the inning but scored at least 10 runs in an inning for the first time since Aug. 20, 2003.

McLouth also homered for the second consecutive game, and Andy LaRoche had two hits and two RBIs for the Pirates, who have won four of their past six since snapping an eight-game skid.

The Rockies’ Ubaldo Jimenez allowed only one run for the third straight start, but he could not extend his personal winning streak to three when the bullpen — and the Colorado defense — couldn’t hold a three-run lead for him.
