Astros Win 6-5 Over Rockies Amid Historic Losing Streak

The Houston Astros continued their strong performance with consecutive wins over the Colorado Rockies, including a 6-5 victory highlighted by Victor Caratini's third career grand slam and Christian Walker's 3-for-4 game with an RBI. The Astros have won 15 of their last 19 games, demonstrating resilience despite injury challenges, while the Rockies struggle with one of the worst starts in modern MLB history. Key contributors in recent games include Yainer Diaz, who has been steadily productive with a .241 average and 10 home runs this season, and Shay Whitcomb, who hit his first homer of the year despite limited playing time. Caratini's grand slam was pivotal in extending the Astros' lead, and bullpen performances from Bennett Sousa, Bryan Abreu, and Josh Hader helped preserve the win. The Rockies' rookie Chase Dollander struggled, allowing six earned runs in under three innings, contributing to Colorado's ongoing difficulties. Jose Altuve remains close to surpassing Jeff Bagwell on the Astros' career hits list, underscoring the team's mix of veteran leadership and emerging talent.
