Astros Christian Walker Hits Two Homers to Secure Series Win Over Rockies

Christian Walker had a standout performance in the Houston Astros' 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies, hitting two solo home runs including a game-winning homer in the eighth inning. This marked Walker's first multi-homer game of the season and his 21st home run overall, continuing his strong production since July with a .279/.345/.514 slash line over his last 200 plate appearances. The Astros took the series two out of three, with Jose Altuve also contributing a home run in the opening inning. Houston's pitcher Jason Alexander delivered a solid outing, allowing three runs over nearly six innings, while reliever Kaleb Ort escaped a bases-loaded jam, and Bryan Abreu closed out the game for his fourth save. The Rockies, who have struggled recently with six losses in seven games, saw homers from Ezequiel Tovar and Yanquiel Fernandez but could not overcome the Astros' offense. Overall, Walker's clutch hitting was pivotal in securing the win and the series for Houston.
