Astros Down Rockies To Sweep Two-Game Series

Yainer Diaz blasted two home runs to lead the Astros over the Colorado Rockies 6-4 at Minute Maid Park. Diaz finished with three RBI and two runs scored as Houston swept the two-game series against Colorado. Jeremy Pena also homered and drove-in a pair of runs in the Astros fourth straight win. Starting pitcher J.P. France earned the win, while Ryan Pressly recorded his 19th save. The Astros are sitting second in the AL West at 49-and-38. They will host the Seattle Mariners tonight for the start of a four-game series. In other news, general manager Dana Brown said that there isn't "any rush" to bring back injured second baseman Jose Altuve. The 33-year-old injured his left oblique in batting practice on Tuesday.
