Jose Altuve etched his name further into Houston Astros history with a two-run single that broke a tie in the sixth inning, leading the team to a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. This performance allowed Altuve to surpass Jeff Bagwell for second place on the franchise's all-time hits list, trailing only Craig Biggio. The Astros, winners of 16 of their last 20 games, showcased offensive prowess with contributions from rookie Shay Whitcomb, who hit his first major-league home run.

On the mound, Hunter Brown delivered another quality start, allowing just two runs over six innings, improving his record to 9-3 with a 1.82 ERA. Rockies hitters struggled to capitalize, going hitless in five at-bats with runners in scoring position, which ultimately hampered their performance. The Astros maintained their lead in the AL West, ensuring a solid position as they head into the season's second half.
