The Pirates' Colin Moran reacts after being hit by a pitch on the hand from Colorado Rockies starter Kyle Freeland Monday evening in Denver. Moran left the game and the Pirates took a 2-0 loss.

DENVER — Kyle Freeland pitched five scoreless innings before leaving with an apparent leg injury suffered while running the bases, Elías Díaz homered and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 on Monday.

Yonathan Daza had an RBI triple and an over-the-shoulder catch of Erik Gonzalez’s deep flyball to the center field warning track in a game dubbed “Opening Day 2.0” after the lifting of all pandemic-induced attendance restrictions at 50,000-seat Coors Field.

The Pirates had six hits, all singles. Colorado relievers Tyler Kinley, Jhoulys Chacin and Carlos Estévez worked an inning each before Daniel Bard handled the ninth for his 11th save in 16 chances.

“To a man, they did a nice job,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “We talked about that a lot over the course of the year, to really finish out a game at times you’re going to need four relievers. You’d like for it to be three or at times maybe even two, but today it was four. It’s a good formula as long as the guys in the bullpen do their job and today they did.”

Freeland (1-2) allowed three hits and struck out seven in his seventh start of the season. He missed the first two months with a shoulder strain suffered in spring training.

Tyler Anderson (3-8) went five innings and allowed two runs on five hits — including Díaz’s third homer of the season, a solo shot in the fifth — against his former team.

Anderson, who has lost his last five decisions, dealt with some tough luck at Coors Field.

“You saw the expansiveness of this outfield,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “There was a ball there that split the gap and got in there for a triple and then he gave up the homer to Díaz. But other than that, I thought he was pretty effective. He had to grind through the fifth.”
