Rockies' 8-Run Inning Just Enough to Down Astros
- On Monday, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Houston Astros 9-7 in Denver, powered by an eight-run fifth inning that secured the team's first consecutive victories of the season.
- The Astros took early control with Carlos Correa doubling and Christian Walker singling in the first inning, then Cam Smith extended Houston's lead to 3-0 with a 462-foot solo homer in the fourth, the longest of the season.
- During the fifth inning, Edouard Julien ignited Colorado's comeback with a two-run single, and TJ Rumfield added a two-run triple—his first career triple—as the Rockies sent 14 batters to the plate.
- Reliever Juan Mejia secured the victory with his first save of the season after pitching 1 2/3 hitless innings, earning praise from manager Schaeffer, who noted 'His stuff is nasty and he's got a low heartbeat.'
- The second game of the series on Tuesday features Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland against Astros RHP Mike Burrows , with starter Ryan Feltner earning his first win since September 17, 2024.
