PITTSBURGH (AP) — Connor Joe singled home the tiebreaking run in the top of the 10th inning and the Colorado Rockies slipped past the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1.

With one out, Joe grounded his hit up the middle off David Bednar, scoring automatic runner Sam Hilliard from second base.

Joe ran his on-base streak to 21 games, and Jose Iglesias had two hits for the Rockies.

Daniel Bard pitched two scoreless innings to complete Colorado's five-hitter.

The Rockies won for just the second time in their last 12 road games.
