Pirates Win at Colorado, 7-3
Spirited fans at Astrodome greeted the Colorado Rockies for their clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Colorado Rockies, 7-3, in National League action at Astrodome, with Pittsburgh pitcher James Paxton named player of the game. In 7.1 innings, Paxton surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 3. He allowed 3 runs.

It could have been a different outcome for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Tony Solaita, the 1965 Rookie of the Year Award winner . Solaita contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 3-2.

"I felt good up there," said Solaita. "I saw the ball well."

The Pirates have an impressive 53-33 record.
