The Colorado Rockies head to Houston on a downward spin, after working so hard to get so close to .500 baseball thanks to a decent enough homestand and surprising the St. Louis Cardinals with a series victory last week.
Now, though, the club has dropped three of four games to Miami – a series in which they scored six total runs in the four games – and is reeling again as they try to find a way to win away from home to avoid undoing their recent good work to get back to a nearly respectable record.
Enter: the Houston Astros, one of baseball’s surprise clubs, to take on the Rockies for four games – two in Houston, followed by two in Denver (we’ll consider the series to be one full preview here).
