The Houston Astros aim for a clean sweep against the struggling Colorado Rockies, who currently hold the worst record in the league. With Brandon Walter taking the mound for Houston, boasting a 3.34 ERA, the Astros are in a favorable position. Meanwhile, Kyle Freeland, with a dismal 5.56 ERA, will try to turn his fortunes around for the Rockies. The matchup not only reflects the Astros' recent success but also signifies a pivotal moment for Freeland as he battles to regain his form.

In addition to the on-field drama, Jose Altuve made headlines by surpassing Jeff Bagwell to become the second all-time leader in hits for the Astros. Hunter Brown celebrated a milestone as well, marking his 500th strikeout, while newcomer Shay Whitcomb hit his first major league home run against the Rockies. As the Astros prepare to face off against the Dodgers next, the stakes remain high for player performances.
