DENVER (AP) - Erik Bedard pitched effectively into the seventh inning for his first win in more than a month, Andrew McCutchen homered, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 6-2 Tuesday night to become the fifth team with at least 50 wins.

The Pirates joined the New York Yankees (56), Texas Rangers (54), Washington Nationals (52) and Cincinnati Reds (51), whom they trail by one game in the NL Central.

Bedard (5-10) went 6 2-3 innings and allowed two runs - one earned - on five hits in snapping his second 4-game losing streak of the season. He struck out four and walked four in his first win since beating Kansas City on June 8.

Christian Friedrich (5-7) gave up five runs on six hits in 4 2-3 innings in losing for the sixth time in his last seven decisions.
