Astros Defeat Rockies, 6-2
|
The Houston Astros topped the Colorado Rockies by the score of 6-2, with the largest share of the credit going to shortstop Rich Aurilia. Aurilia was 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Astros. Houston reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa got the win, raising his record to 4-8. Kevin Morton was tagged with the loss. Houston now sits at 64-88, while Colorado falls to 58-95.
Houston used a timely hit from Javier Valentin to get the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Astros ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.
"I thought we played a nice game," Valentin told the Houston Gazette. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
