PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Liriano has won twice as many games as he did a year ago and theres still two months to go in the season. Liriano continued his recent dominance with seven strong innings, and Jose Tabata homered and drove in two runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night. Liriano (12-4) allowed only two hits to offset his five walks and had six strikeouts. The left-hander improved to 7-1 with a 1.65 ERA in his last eight starts for the NL Central leaders. Last season, Liriano was a combined 6-12 with the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox. He has a hard time explaining his turnaround, which is a big reason why the Pirates hold a 1 1/2-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central. "What can I say?" he said. "Everything is going good for me and good for the team. Im not really thinking about it too much. Im just going out and pitching and trying to be aggressive and get people out. Its working out well for me and it is working out for well for the team because were winning." Tabata hit his first home run since May 11 -- a span of 112 plate appearances -- and also tripled while going 3 for 4 to raise his average to .266. Tabata has hit just three homers this season, which is why general manager Neal Huntington tried to trade for an outfielder before the July 31 non-waiver deadline, though without success. "Weve seen Jose swing the bat like this before and be productive over the last few years," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Hopefully, he will get hot." The Rockies put men on base in six of Lirianos seven innings but they went 0 for 9 against him with runners on, including five hitless at-bats with runners in scoring position. "When I walk people its because Im overthrowing," Liriano said. "When guys got on base, I told myself to slow down and make pitches, not try to do too much." Colorado lost for the fifth time in six games. "We had some opportunities early but like most of the good ones once he settled in he was tough," Rocckies manager Walt Weiss said.dddddddddddd "He had a good changeup and his command was pretty good even though he walked some guys." Gaby Sanchez had two hits and two RBIs for Pittsburgh, while Jordy Mercer and Andrew McCutchen added two hits each. Fill-in closer Mark Melancon pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save. Jorge De La Rosa (10-6) pitched four-plus innings and gave up three runs on six hits while striking out three and walking two. The outing came a day after Rockies owner Dick Monfort said Colorado would exercise De La Rosas $11 million club option for 2014. "Jorge didnt have very good command," Weiss said. "It was a struggle for him from the start." The Pirates scored one run each in the third through seventh innings to take a 5-0 lead. In the third, Starling Marte led off with a single, stole second, took third on Jordy Mercers groundout and scored on Andrew McCutchens double. Tabata led off the fourth by homering over the 375 sign in right-centre for his third of the season. Sanchez hit run-scoring singles in both the fifth and seventh innings, while Tabata led off the sixth with a triple and scored on Josh Harrisons squeeze bunt. Colorado finally scored a pair in the eighth on consecutive RBI singles by Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Cuddyer, who returned to the team after missing the previous two games because of a family emergency.
