Erici starts his season off with a strike out of Eduardian because they got that opportunity last year and took advantage of it. into right field coming on Cam Smith and he won't be able to make the play bounds away from him as he tried to make that shoestring catch instead. It's a double for Moniac but in going for it he had to make sure the ball didn't get by him or would have cost the Astros a run. Who wants this

one? Cam is going to call off the infielders for the second out if he can start establishing himself. This ball tapped to third. We'll talk more about this in the next inning as Koreah has an awkward play to make and he does so cleanly for the final out of the inning. That's a called third strike. Kareah is going to challenge Stu Sherwatter on a 3-2 call. And that is going to be up ball four. Backto back walks issued by the lefty Canana just off the IIL. He and that'll be the third consecutive walk allowed by Jose Canana. The bases

will be loaded for Christian Walker. In the air, right field towards the corner. Moving towards the line is Jordan Beck. Kareah is going to tag. He's going to try to score. Here comes a throw by Beck. It is not in time. Alvarez will take the extra 90 ft and get into third. Sacrifice fly for Christian Walker. RBI number 16 on the year. To be able to make such good contact with so many pitches. Now Cam sends one to left field. Plenty deep enough to score the run. and Yordon Alvarez will tag and head home. And again, Yordon will trot in for the second run on backto back sack flies.

Cam Smith drives in his 10th run of the year. Always one of the smartest base runners. Yordon getting it done as Yiner sends one to right. Playable for Jordan Beck as he'll put it away for the final out of the inning. That one in center field sending Joey Lopero back. He'll look up and that'll be off the center of the wall. Good jump from Tovar from first. Here comes the throw back into the infield and the Rockies get a run back on the RBI double by Willie Castro.

infield. Christian Walker coming down from first. Carlos Kareah from third. It'll be CC who takes charge. One and two, the count to Julian who struck out his first time up and he goes down again. Spencer gets him with the breaking ball. Jose Canana and goes after the first pitch and sends it to right but caught by Jordan Beck. Larido lines out. Played appearances with a runner in scoring position category. Hits this ball to left. Playable for Mickey Moniac. And that'll be the final out of the inning.

One two pitch is a swing. Mickey Moniac tried to hold up, but third base umpire Rob Drake said he went too far on the attack. Swing and a miss. Three in a row for Spencer. Five in the game. Two outs in the third. Nine on the curve ball by itself and added another one to it. 10 swings and misses on the curve ball. He strikes out three in the inning. He's got 17 walks.

Hits this ball down the line and right. YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THAT ONE. LINE DRIVE HOME RUN for airordon. A quick flight and the Astros lead it three to one. Christian Vasquez. Okay, that makes sense. That was golfed by Paradus. I'm not sure how he popped that one up, but he did. And it's at second base. Johnson probably not feeling very well after hit taking that pitch off the thigh. This ball hit pretty well to center, but tracking it is the center fielder Jake McCarthy for the second out.

Two pitches pop foul. New first baseman is Julian and he gets to the wall in a hurry to make the play for the final out. Little tapper back to the mound. Glove by Spencer. He'll make the throw to first. One away in the inning. That one in play in the shallow right center. Should be plenty of time for either Cam or Lopeid to get there and it's in between them. They can still get the force out, but nobody caught that fly ball. Either one of them could have caught it. And runners go. Ground ball towards the middle.

Playing the ball to first is Nick Allen to get the one out. Allen up and away. Ball four. Hit by pitch error and a walk in this inning. Have loaded the bases for the Rockies for their RBI leader Mickey Monia. Yiner's going to challenge this curve ball. If he gets it, he's called a ball. A catch and challenge the pitch. It's going to be the end of the inning. And this one is a diving stop by Freeman. He's going to say he caught it in the air and he did. Jordan Baker, the crew chief and second base umpire, confirms that's a line drive out off the

He's going to put his head down and try and get into second and he will ahead of the throw by Modiac. That's a one out double. First extra base hit of the year for Nick Allen. That hit pretty well, but maybe off the end of the bat. Yordon didn't get all of that as Jordan Beck puts it away for the final out of the inning. One hit, one walk, two left. Astros lead after four. Three to one here. Gets the ground ball to short. Nick Allen gloves it. Makes the play to first.

This ball hit pretty well to left. Back goes Bryce Matthews on the run and he'll make a nice running catch. Easing up as he gets to the warning track. Bryce continues to look smooth in the outfield. 100th pitch of the game and the final one for Spencer Arrigetti. Strikes out 10. Fifth time in his career, double digits in strikeouts. He goes six innings of one-run baseball. Swing and a miss. Lopeido down on strikes. Tanner Gordon picks up his first strikeout. Speaking of swings and misses, Gordon picking up a couple of swinging strikeouts here in the sixth inning. Two away

Runner goes, the pitch is down. The throw is late. That'll be a stolen base for Brenton Doyle by Spencer Argetti.

Pitch. That one's down and gets past Yiner Diaz. That's going to allow the runner to advance to third. So, a stolen base and now pitch in the dirt. Little tapper towards first. Christian Walker's there on two hops and will take it to the bag himself for the final out of the inning. Rocky Strand two. Astros lead three to one. time for this. He does keep it fair deep into left center field all the way back to the wall. That ball's off the top of the wall. Yordon cruises into second with a double. Ball mishandled out there but getting it back in. Jake McCarthy

into his third inning of work here and gets this pop up off the bat of Paradis near the Rockies dugout but playable for Kyle Keros. grounds this one to third. Kyle Keros makes the throw across and that'll do it for the Astros in the seventh. A double by Yord on Alvarez. One man left on base. We head to the eighth. Still a 3-1 game. And a strikeout for Abrau on a foul tip caught by Yiner for the first out of the eighth inning. Got him. Went after the slider. Freeman strikes out. Backto back Kes for a Brayu. Two outs. Yeah, that's how good that I saw the replay of that and it was got on him quick.

Brian Abrau with his best inning of the season. A one, two, 38, a couple of strikeouts and a ground out. Good to see Abrau back to his own form and he puts the ball on the ground here to the shortstop toebar and they turn two on Yiner. Foul tip. Nice work by Tanner Gordon. and he comes in out of the Rockies bullpen and throws four shutout innings, two hits. Lead at three to one in the ninth and there is a swing and a miss for a strikeout. Eniel del Santos picks up a K on the first batter he faces and this ball in the air to center sending Joey Lopeid back. Joey has room. That'll be the second out of the inning.

Doyle chops a foul. It's 0 and one. Would you consider this one a little more legit with coming off an eightgame losing streak? So there was a lot on the line last night. I think there were there was a lot of pressure with that one out save last night. Call third strike. Second straight night. And yell has picked up a called third for the save. The Astros win it three to one. They have now won seven in a row here at Dyken Park. And Blamer, this is a really nice start to the home stand.
