The Pittsburgh Pirates are doing their best to extend Colorado’s struggles on the road. Coming off an extra-inning victory, the Pirates look to win their third straight home series against the Rockies on Sunday. Trying to remain a postseason contender, Colorado has lost eight of nine on the road to fall to 21-34 away from Coors Field and Saturday’s loss was particularly tough. Rookie Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning to give Pittsburgh an 8-7 victory. The Pirates have won two of three in this series to improve to 6-3 at home against Colorado since the Rockies swept a three-game set at PNC Park in 2007.

The Rockies’ Ian Stewart had tied the game with a three-run homer in the ninth and Todd Helton gave them a 7-5 lead with a two-run shot in the 10th. However, Huston Street blew his second save when Alvarez hit his second three-run homer in as many nights. Nine of Alvarez’s 10 homers this season have come at PNC Park. Colorado looks to bounce back against Pittsburgh’s Paul Maholm, who looks to avoid a fifth straight loss to the Rockies. Maholm is 1-5 with a 6.26 ERA in seven starts - six on the road - against Colorado, including 0-4 with a 7.28 ERA in his last five. He allowed eight runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 9-3 loss to the Rockies on July 29. In his only home start against Colorado, Maholm threw seven scoreless innings in a 3-1 loss May 15, 2009.
