DENVER -- The struggling Colorado Rockies followed up a pregame meeting with their best offensive showing in months, and Wilin Rosario believes it was no coincidence. Brian Gibbons Jersey . Rosario doubled and homered to drive in four runs, leading a Colorado offence that batted around in the first and second innings, and the Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1 on Friday night. Manager Walt Weiss had called the meeting to discuss the clubs play on the heels of a 1-9 road trip. "It was a wake-up call," Rosario said. "But he didnt let us keep our heads down. Everybody was focused and ready to go. That was good, to show as a team that we can come back and play well." Weiss said his players deserve the credit, not him. "We got kicked around the last 10 days and had to come out and face a team with the best record in the league, and go against one of the best pitchers in the league and the guys fought," Weiss said. "I dont think it has anything to do with me. The guys went out there and competed. Im proud of them." Colorado scored double digits for the first time since also putting up 10 runs in a victory over Philadelphia two months ago. Francisco Liriano (12-5) bore the brunt of the Rockies outburst in his first appearance at hitter-friendly Coors Field, allowing a career-high 10 runs on 12 hits in 2 1-3 innings, his shortest outing of the season. "I was missing my spots a lot," Liriano said. "The slider wasnt sharp tonight either. Got behind in the count a lot. One of those days. Nothing was moving, nothing was sinking. I couldnt get anything going." With the game out of reach, Pirates infielder Josh Harrison was summoned by manager Clint Hurdle to relieve Jared Hughes and got pinch-hitter Corey Dickerson to fly out to left to close out the eighth. It was the first relief appearance of Harrisons career and marked the first time a Pirates position player had been used in a relief role since infielder Abraham Nunez got one out during a 12-1 Pittsburgh loss to the Chicago Cubs on May 30, 2004. "Why bring any other pitcher in?" said Hurdle, also a former Rockies manager. "Ive got a little experience here. You bring in another pitcher and he might end up facing four or five. We told him to keep it low and dont get hurt. He said he didnt get to work his cutter in. Its a hard at-bat for the other guy. We wanted to preserve our pen for the two games we have left to play." Jorge De La Rosa (11-6) went five innings, shaking off a blow near his pitching shoulder from Jordy Mercers comebacker and keeping the Pirates in check by working out of two bases-loaded jams early. Pittsburgh, one of only three major league teams with at least 70 wins this season, lost for the first time in six games. The Rockies had averaged just over a run per game during their skid, which included a 5-2 loss a week ago at PNC Park in which Liriano got the win with seven scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to 2.02. It increased to 2.83 after the second-chance shelling by the Rockies. "I felt like the guys attacked the big part of the field and certainly didnt go up there and try to pull them," Weiss said. "Hes got a great changeup and we made some adjustments, let the ball travel a little bit and attacked the big part of the field." The Pirates opened the game with four consecutive singles off De La Rosa but failed to score. Leadoff man Starling Marte was picked off first base by De La Rosa after singling. Jordy Mercer, Andrew McCutchen and Russell Martin hit successive singles to load the bases but De La Rosa fanned Pedro Alvarez and got Gaby Sanchez on a groundout to end the inning. Liriano retired the first batter he faced, Dexter Fowler, on a liner to short. The next six Rockies batters reached on a walk and base hits, including RBI singles by Michael Cuddyer and Todd Helton, and Rosarios two-run double. Rosario turned on a 93 mph fastball for his 16th homer of the season during the Rockies five-run second inning. Pittsburgh got a run on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Mercer in the second. After McCutchen walked to re-load the bases with two outs, Martin grounded out. The Rockies added a final run in the third on a fielders choice by Cuddyer.

Its always frustrating for a striker when he doesnt score ... hes (been) feeling the pressure.By coming from behind to win 2-1 for the third time in four league games, Tottenham climbed above Everton from 10th to seventh — just two points from the top four.The performance, high on intensity and pace, is just what Tottenham was looking for when Mauricio Pochettino was hired in May as the third manager in a year.Today was fantastic, our mentality our spirit, Pochettino said. Its a little bit more than three points because we broke a bad run of results.While victorious on the road, Tottenham has struggled in front of its own fans. With a more cohesive performance, this was only Tottenhams third win from seven league games at White Hart Lane.For once Tottenham couldnt use playing in the Europa League on Thursday as an excuse given Everton had also played in the competition, and also secured qualification to the knnockout phase with a game to spare. Mirco Mueller Jersey. .These are two clubs, however, with ambitions for an upgrade to the Champions League. An entertaining and high-tempo game started with Everton in the ascendency.Although Romelu Lukakus finish was weak after being set up by Ross Barkley, Mirallas seized on Tottenhams slack defending, shook off Soldado on the edge of the penalty area and curled the ball into the roof of the net in the 15th minute.But Tottenham was soon back in the contest as its attacking verve produced an equalizer.Harry Kane weaved through defence, goalkeeper Tim Howard parried his shot, but Eriksen met the loose ball and lifted it into net from tight angle in the 21st minute.Kane was a constant threat going forward, although when he darted through Everton territory on the half-hour, Howard was untroubled by the strikers shot.Weve been working on pressing higher up the pitch and creating opportunities, Kane said.As Tottenham maintained the pressure, Eriksen saw a shot deflected just wide of post, and Soldado ended his goal drought in stoppage time after being released by Aaron Lennon.Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris protected Tottenhams win in the later stage, denying Seamus Coleman with a fine save before Lukaku struck wide.We lacked a bit of intent to try to get the second goal, Everton manager Roberto Martinez said.
