Moniak has 3 hits, McCarthy gets unassisted double play from LF as Rockies beat Pirates 10-4

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mickey Moniak doubled, tripled, and homered on his 28th birthday, Jake McCarthy had the first unassisted double play by a left fielder in the majors since 2013, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-4 on Wednesday night.

The Rockies ended a three-game losing streak and snapped a five-game skid against the Pirates dating to last Aug. 3.

In the first inning, McCarthy caught a sinking line drive from Bryan Reynolds on a full sprint for the second out. He then stepped on second base to double off Oneil Cruz. It was the first unassisted double play by a left fielder since Boston's Jonny Gomes on July 31, 2013, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

Kyle Karros, McCarthy and Ezequiel Tovar each drove in runs in the fifth before Moniak's two-out homer that put Colorado ahead 6-3.

Moniak added a double in the eighth and a two-run triple in the ninth. His 26 RBIs lead the Rockies.

Colorado's TJ Rumfield finished 3-for-4 with a double and a homer. His .277 batting average ranks fourth among qualified rookies.

Jose Quintana gave up three runs on five hits in four innings. Antonio Senzatela (3-0) allowed one run in three innings of relief.

The Pirates scored in the second inning after Henry Davis reached on a fielder's choice with the bases loaded. Ryan O'Hearn scored from third, and Nick Gonzalez was caught in a rundown but scored due to interference by Quintana.

Reynolds had an RBI single in the third and O'Hearn homered in the sixth.

Mitch Keller (4-2) was perfect through four innings, but allowed five straight hits to open the fifth. He gave up six runs in 5 2/3 innings.

The start of the game was delayed 26 minutes by rain.

Rockies RHP Chase Dollander (3-2, 3.35 ERA) gets the start against Pirates RHP Carmen Mlodzinski (2-3, 4.50) as the series concludes on Thursday.

BOSTON (AP) — Pinch-hitter Ceddanne Rafaela had a tiebreaking, two-run homer over the Green Monster and the Boston Red Sox beat Philadelphia 3-1 on Wednesday night while ending the home run streak of the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber at five games.

Rafaela hit a fastball from Orion Kerkering, who replaced Tanner Banks (0-3) with two outs in the sixth.

Making his second start after missing a couple of weeks due to right hamstring tightness that forced him from a start on April 20, Sonny Gray (4-1) gave up one run and two hits over six innings with six strikeouts and one walk.

Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth, working around a pair of walks, and finished a three-hitter to remain perfect in nine save chances.

Slumping Trevor Story hit a solo homer for the Red Sox, who had lost three of their previous four games. He entered hitting .203 with two homers.

Red Sox catcher Connor Wong left in the ninth after rolling his right ankle on a popup that ended the top of the eighth as pitcher Garrett Whitlock made a sliding catch. Wong said he was sore and tests showed the ankle was fine.

Justin Crawford went deep for the Phillies, who dropped to 11-4 since Don Mattingly replaced Rob Thomson as manager after a 9-19 start.

Schwarber went 0 for 2 after tying a franchise-record by homering in five straight games.

Boston first baseman Willson Contreras returned after missing Tuesday’s series-opening loss due to a bruised right hand sustained when hit by a fastball on Sunday.

Phillies shortstop Trea Tunner didn't start because of an illness, but walked pinch hitting in the ninth.

Philadelphia starter Andrew Painter gave up a run and four hits in five innings. He was tagged for eight runs in just 3 2/3 innings in his previous start.

Phillies LHP Jesús Luzardo (3-3, 5.98 ERA) is set to start the series finale Thursday against Red Sox LHP Ranger Suárez (2-2, 2.77), who spent eight seasons with Philadelphia before signing a $130 million, five-year contract with Boston in January.
