The Houston Astros, currently with a record of 6-11, are looking to end an 8-game losing streak as they welcome the Colorado Rockies, who stand at 6-10, for a three-game series at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. Tonight's starting pitcher for the Astros, Colton Gordon, will make his season debut after a successful stint in Triple A with a 1.76 ERA. Gordon's performance is crucial for the Astros, who were swept by the Rockies last week. Christian Walker, known for his impressive batting average of .330 against the Rockies, will be a key player to watch. The Astros are also honoring former player and manager Phil Garner, who passed away recently, with a tribute video and moment of silence before the game. This match marks the beginning of a 6-game homestand for the Astros, who are looking to capitalize on their strong home performance, having won 5 of their last 7 games at home.
