Beck's 3-run homer lifts Rockies to 8-5 win over over Pirates, Skenes
DENVER (AP) — Jordan Beck ended Paul Skenes' scoreless streak with a three-run homer in Colorado's six-run sixth inning, and the Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-5 on Saturday. Warming Bernabel continued his stellar start to his big-league career with two doubles and a single and Orlando Arcia homered for Colorado. Jaden Hill (1-0) picked up his first major league win for the Rockies, who withstood a three-homer day by Pittsburgh's Liover Peguero. Skenes hadn't allowed a run in 18 straight innings before faltering in the sixth. Beck followed a leadoff single and walk with his 13th home run, and Bernabel's double chased the NL All-Star starter. Skenes allowed four runs and five hits while striking out eight in five-plus innings. Braxton Ashcraft (3-2) came on and gave up three hits that put the Rockies ahead 6-4. Skenes cruised through the first three innings before Beck singled with one out in the fourth and went to third on Bernabel's double, but he escaped without giving up a run. Peguero's first two home runs — the first leading off the game and a three-run shot in the fifth — gave Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead. He added another solo shot with two outs in the ninth to cap his first multi-homer game of his career. The game went into a rain delay for 1 hour, 4 minutes, before the start of the eighth. Key moment Colorado closer Seth Halvorsen left in the ninth inning with a full count on Spencer Horwitz. Halvorsen's right arm was hanging in discomfort after throwing his fifth pitch. Key stats Bernabel has at least one hit in each of the first seven games of his career. He has four doubles, three home runs and a triple among his 14 hits this season and is batting .500. Up next Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (4-10, 3.69 ERA) will face Rockies RHP Bradley Blalock (1-2, 7.09) on Sunday. ___ AP MLB:

Sixers legend gives statement on Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over the NBA in the 2024-25 season. He led the league in scoring, took home the MVP, Western Conference finals MVP, and finals MVP awards, led the Thunder to their first championship in franchise history, and announced himself as the clear best player in the league. Gilgeous-Alexander has thrown the Thunder on his back and has taken the league by storm at this stage of his career. He deserves a lot of credit for being able to lead OKC to the mountaintop as he delivered a big performance on the game's biggest stage. Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson delivered his own statement on Gilgeous-Alexander as he continues to praise the talent coming into the league: You have to practice to become whatever you're trying to become in life. You think Shai didn't practice? Become the MVP, the best player in the world? You have to practice. Iverson was able to win the MVP award in 2001 and lead the Sixers to the finals before they fell to the Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led Los Angeles Lakers. He was an elite scorer during his time and has his number retired at the Wells Fargo Center. The Thunder are likely to do the same when the time comes for Gilgeous-Alexander.
