It was a game of a lot of long fly balls -- some of which left the yard while some just barely, tantalizingly, painfully, did not.
Corey Dickerson got things started with with an almost home-run than went as a double after a review in the first inning. The Rockies did not score in the inning.
The Astros used a pair of singles in the bottom of the first from George Springer and Jose Altuve to plate the first run of the game.
The Rockies struck back in the top of the second with almost home runs from Michael McKenry and DJ LeMahieu but it wouldn't matter much as their triple and double respectively were cashed in on -- the final strike coming from Charlie Blackmon who singled in LeMahieu to put the Rockies up 3-1.
