Colorado Rockies, Chris Rusin Done In By Five-Run Third Inning

The Colorado Rockies took their final turn upon Tal’s Hill Tuesday afternoon in the second game against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.

The Houston Astros scored five third-inning runs, and the Colorado Rockies couldn’t overcome a poor start by Chris Rusin, losing 8-5 on Tuesday afternoon at Minute Maid Park.

The Astros jumped out to an early lead in the first inning, when Jose Altuve singled home George Springer after a balk by Rusin, making it 1-0 after one inning and putting the Rockies in the hole early yet again on the road trip.
