Dating back to May 29, 2013, the Astros have won 12 of 14 meetings between the clubs, including five in succession. In those last five games between the teams, the Astros outscored the Rockies by a combined 50-20, scoring nine or more runs in four of five contests.

After going 11-3 with a 2.88 staff ERA in their first 14 games, the Rockies have struggled of late: 2-5 with a 6.24 ERA since August 9. After four Rockies pitchers combined for a one-hitter on August 8 at Seattle, Colorado has allowed 10 or more hits in four of its last six games.

The Astros re 8-4 at home, tied for fourth in MLB in home victories; they are 3-6 on the road. The club's 2.87 home ERA is tied for fifth lowest in MLB, and Houston's 5.50 runs per contest at home is tied for sixth in the majors.

Charlie Blackmon is "slumping," with three hits in his last 15 at-bats, dropping his season mark to .446 -- that figure leads the majors by 35 points over the Yankees' DJ LeMahieu. Blackmon is hitting .395 against AL pitching in 2020 after hitting only .246 in interleague play last year.

Carlos Correa entered August with a .385 batting average and 1.099 OPS -- he has struggled this month to a .245 average (12-for-49) and .654 OPS. Against the Rockies, Correa has a .406 career average with 10 RBI in eight games.

Kyle Freeland has allowed seven earned runs in four starts this season, with four of those runs coming after the sixth inning. His ERA in innings one through six is a miniscule 1.13 (three earned runs in 24 innings).

When the Houston Astros returned home last week with their collective tails between their legs following a ragged road trip, manager Dusty Baker suggested that the only means of reversing course would be for his club to adhere to the finer details of the game and execute accordingly.
In completing a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners with a 3-2 win on Sunday, the Astros blended timely hitting, opportunistic defense and exceptional pitching to the desired effect. Now, with the Colorado Rockies set to pay a visit for the first two games of a four-game series that will conclude in Denver later this week, the Astros are on a bit of a roll.

Astros look to maintain roll as they host Rockies

HOUSTON (AP)  Carlos Correa drove in two runs with a double to back up a strong start by rookie Brandon Bielak, and the Houston Astros extended their winning streak to a season-high five games with a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
Bielak (3-0) allowed one hit and one run in six innings for the win in his third MLB start. The 24-year-old, who made two relief appearances before moving into the rotation, walked four and struck out four.
