HOUSTON — The difference between Houston and Colorado was markedly clear in a back-and-forth evening at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday.
The Astros, with a World Series-or-bust attitude, were in attack mode throughout their 11-6 victory. Meanwhile the Rockies, clinging to life in the National League wild-card race, had their few offensive surges negated by an inconsistent performance by German Marquez and another bullpen tanking.
“It’s frustrating when you come back a couple times, you have some momentum and you feel good about where you are in the game,” manager Bud Black said.
