First Rovers midfielder Isaac Hutchinson crashed a shot against the bar following a Chris Martin flick at a corner, before the excellent Luke McCormick's looping header was tipped onto the bar four minutes later by Trueman, as Bryant Bilongo picked out his attacking midfield team-mate.
Trueman also produced a fine save to deny Hutchinson in the first half while Shaq Forde was unable to finish off a good chance for the Pirates.
The visitors dominated possession and impressed with their pressing but as they pushed for the winner in the second half, Rovers remained steadfast to make it just one defeat in their last six home games across all competitions.
