The Pittsburgh Pirates survived a nearly five-hour marathon to keep their winning streak going and extend the Colorado Rockies' slump.
Neither team has much time to rest up.

Pirates-Rockies Preview

DENVER (AP)  One less game in April for Trevor Story. One less opportunity to match - maybe even break - a rookie homer record for the month.
The game between Colorado and Pittsburgh on Thursday was postponed because of rain and snow. And while Story wasn't in the starting lineup, the Rockies shortstop could've entered as a pinch hitter and he certainly does have the flair for the dramatic these days.
