After averaging over nine runs per game in the six-game homestand prior to Tuesday’s game in Houston, the Rockies offensive road woes wasted no time in returning. The Astros shut out the Rockies, holding them to five hits in a 5-0 win. The quiet bats, combined with a short outing from Jon Gray, resulted in a game dominated by the Astros.
Fourth dooms Gray
Through three innings, Jon Gray looked great. He had six strikeouts and had only given up one hit and one walk. Despite surrendering two early singles in the fourth, Gray also recorded two strikeouts.
