Breaking Down that Bizarre Game-Ending Play in the Pirates-Rockies Game
Tomoyuki Sugano outpitched Paul Skenes, and a controversial ninth-inning interference call erased Pittsburgh’s tying chance after Jake McCarthy’s inside-the-park homer.
- On Saturday night, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 at Coors Field after umpires ruled Billy Cook interfered with a play, ending the game in the ninth inning.
- Colorado outfielder Jake McCarthy hit an inside-the-park home run to spark the offense, while pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano outdueled Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes, allowing just four hits over six innings.
- With the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth, umpires called interference after Cook's cleat clipped the glove of Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros, preventing a potential game-tying play.
- The Pirates have now lost seven consecutive games started by Skenes, falling to 0-6 in his appearances since May 12 despite his strong individual performance on the mound.
- Seeking to avoid a series sweep, Pittsburgh will send right-hander Jared Jones to the mound on Sunday afternoon to face the Rockies in the weekend finale.
