HOUSTON -- The clutch hit delivered by the Astros in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Rockies came off the bat of the player who perhaps needed it the most.
Carlos Correa, who was off to a 1-for-15 start since being activated from the disabled list after missing six weeks with a sore lower back, bounced a bases-clearing, three-run double down the third-base line in the first inning to give the Astros a 3-0 lead.
Alex Bregman began the inning with a double, and Rockies starter Tyler Anderson walked Marwin Gonzalez and Yuli Gurriel to load the bases for Correa, whose three RBIs are his most since June 17 against the Royals.
