HOUSTON — Alex Bregman came to the plate in the first inning Wednesday night and promptly lashed a double off Rockies starter Tyler Anderson.
Marwin Gonzalez followed with a walk, and so did Yuli Gurriel, loading the bases for Carlos Correa, who smashed a three-run double. The tone of the evening was set.
Then things got bad really for Anderson and the Rockies.
By the time “Deep in the Heart of Texas” blared through the speakers during the seventh-inning stretch at Minute Maid Park, the Rockies trailed the Astros 10-1.
