Jose Altuve had a couple Hall of Fame moments on Wednesday, while the Rockies lacked any game-changing ones of their own.
Houston’s star second baseman laid down a crafty bunt in the opening inning that helped the Astros take an early lead, and then delivered a two-out, two-RBI single later in the game that passed Jeff Bagwell on the club’s all-time hits list and ended up being the difference.
That led to a 5-3 defeat for Colorado at Coors Field. With that, the Rockies dropped to 19-67 — remaining on pace to eclipse the 2024 White Sox’s modern record of 121 losses — and are now 8-34 in LoDo, the worst home record in the majors.
