The Colorado Rockies are not a good baseball team. The Houston Astros are an elite baseball team. Those distinctions played out over and over as Tuesday night’s game went back and forth, with the Astros ultimately just too much for the Rockies as they cruised to an 11-6 win.
Overwhelming offense
The Houston offense just wouldn’t stop. German Márquez simply had no margin for error. He threw a couple changeups that weren’t as sharp and Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriel hit home runs. He gave up eight hits and was constantly dealing with traffic and rallies.
