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).

As the debilitating injuries mounted within their pitching staff, the Houston Astros appeared resigned to having to rely solely on their stout lineup to keep them competitive.
Lately, however, the Astros' patchwork rotation has exceeded expectations. In the opener of a four-game home-and-home interleague set with the Colorado Rockies on Monday, rookie right-hander Brandon Bielak kept the line moving, allowing just one run and one hit in six innings of a 2-1 victory in Houston.

With Astros' rotation rolling, Greinke faces Rockies

HOUSTON (AP)  Myles Straw's RBI single with one out in the 11th inning lifted the Houston Astros over the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Tuesday, extending their winning streak to a season-high six games.
The back-and-forth finish came after the teams were scoreless going into extra innings, highlighted by splendid performances from starters Zack Greinke and Antonio Senzatela.
