The two clubs met earlier this season, with Houston taking both games from the Rockies in Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium, in Mexico City, MX on April 27 and April 28. In the finale, the Astros took an 8-2 victory. The offense backed up a solid Framber Valdez (1-0, 2.60) start. He allowed two runs on five hits, walking zero and striking out six. Kyle Tucker (7), Jose Altuve (7) and Jeremy Peña (3) went deep in the win.
The first couple of innings, command wasn’t there, but he settled in. He threw some really good changeups and he gave us five innings.
