Its Tuesday, July 1 and the Astros (50-34) are in Denver to open a series against the Rockies (19-65).
Colton Gordon is slated to take the mound for Houston against Chase Dollander for Colorado.
The Astros were outscored 16-10 over the weekend against the Cubs but took two of three games against the National League Central leaders. The top of their rotation has been fantastic all season and Sunday it was on display as Framber Valdez did not allow a run over six innings to earn his ninth win of the season.
The Rockies remain historically bad. They did, however, pick up a win Sunday in eleven innings in Milwaukee to snap a five-game losing streak. Colorado rallied with a run in the ninth on an Orlando Arcia home run and won it on a Kyle Farmer single in the eleventh.
Lets dive into the matchup and find a sweat or two.
