					| Pirates, Thornton Blast Rockies, 11-1 |  
					| The Pittsburgh Pirates handed the Colorado Rockies a loss at PNC Park.  The final score was 11-1. Mike Thornton was one of the major contributors for Pittsburgh. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Colorado has now lost 4 straight. 
 Thornton contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Pittsburgh in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 1-0, Thornton took a cutter from Link Zeller and stroked the home run to center. His 27th home run of the season allowed the Pirates to leap in front, 4-1.
 
 "The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Michael Jank said.
