In a closely contested game at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas, the Houston Astros edged out the Colorado Rockies 7-6. The Rockies started strong with a home run from Hunter Goodman in the first inning, but the Astros quickly responded with a home run from Christian Walker. The game shifted dramatically in the third inning when the Astros scored four runs, extending their lead to 7-3. Despite the deficit, the Rockies fought back, with Goodman hitting another home run and Ezequiel Tovar contributing with key walks. In the eighth inning, Troy Johnston's RBI single brought the Rockies within one run, but they couldn't complete the comeback.
