The first inning had us a bit worried
, not gonna lie. With the Rockies jumping to a 2-0 lead thanks to a massive 459-foot homer by Ryan McMahon, things were looking rocky (pun intended).

The 3rd inning was where the magic started
. Yordan Alvarez blasted a two-run homer to right center, turning the game on its head to give us a 3-2 lead. But why stop there? Kyle Tucker said, "Hold my bat," and hammered one to left, adding another to our tally. From there, our Astros were in full control.By the 6th, the scoreboard read 6-2 thanks to some smart plays and a bit of Rockies' misfortune. Our boys weren't just hitting well; they played with strategy, making every at-bat count. Mauricio Dubon sneaking in a run with an infield single was the icing on the already tasty cake.
A Grand Finale
The Astros weren't satisfied with just a lead; they wanted domination
. Fast forward to the 9th, and our stars shone the brightest. Alvarez was at it again, launching another homer to center, making it his second of the night. The hits just kept coming, with Dubón, Jose Abreu, and Chas McCormick all driving in runs, ballooning our lead to a whopping 12-2. Though the Rockies tried to rally in the bottom of the 9th, adding two more runs to their total, it was too little too late. The damage was done, and our Astros emerged victorious with a final score of 12-4.
