Colorado Rockies End Four-Game Skid with 6-1 Win over Houston Astros

The Colorado Rockies defeated the Houston Astros 6-1, snapping a four-game losing streak and an 11-game losing streak in Houston dating back to 2018. Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer and Mickey Moniak drove in three runs, contributing significantly to the Rockies' offense. Rockies starter Tanner Gordon earned his third straight win, allowing six hits and one run over six innings. The Astros took an early 1-0 lead with a home run by Jesús Sánchez, but a costly error by Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña prevented a double play and led to four unearned runs for Colorado in the third inning. Houston starter Hunter Brown allowed six runs, only two earned, over 6 2/3 innings, while slugger Yordan Alvarez returned from injury but went 0-for-2 with two walks and the Astros struggled with runners in scoring position. Despite Alvarez's return after a fractured hand, the Astros offense failed to capitalize, going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
