DENVER — Ka’ai Tom singled to right leading off the ninth inning for the only hit by the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Colorado Rockies' Germán Márquez on Tuesday night.

Colorado won the game, 8-0.

Only two runners had reached for the Pirates before then: Jacob Stallings was hit in the left ribs by a knuckle-curve with a 1-2 count and one out in the second inning, and Phillip Evans checked his swing and walked on a 3-2 slider that went low and outside with one out in the fifth. Kevin Newman then grounded into an inning ending double play.

The closest the Pirates had come to a hit was by Adam Frazier, who led the game off with a liner that first baseman Joshua Fuentes caught with a dive.

Ke’Bryan Hayes led off the top of the seventh with a slow-rolling comebacker that shortstop Trevor Story scooped up on the run to get Hayes at first by a step.

Story made a leaping catch to deny the Pirates a hit in the eighth inning.

There has been only one no-hitter thrown at Coors Field. Rockies’ hitter-friendly home since 1995. Hideo Nomo of the Dodgers no-hit the Rockies on Sept. 17, 1996, a 9-0 Los Angeles victory.

The only Rockies pitcher to throw a no-hitter was Ubaldo Jiménez against the Braves in Atlanta on April 17, 2010.
