Hunter Goodman powers the Rockies past the Astros 3-2, snapping a 6-game skid

Hunter Goodman homered and doubled to help the Colorado Rockies snap a six-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday night. Goodman’s solo shot tied it in the fourth inning and Colorado took the lead in the fifth on an RBI single by Tyler Freeman, who had three hits. Chase Dollander (2-1) took over with two outs in the first and pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings for the win.

The Colorado Rockies finally found the win column Thursday night, and they have Hunter Goodman's bat to thank. Goodman launched a solo homer and added a crucial double, powering the Rockies to a gritty 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros and snapping a frustrating six-game losing streak.

After falling behind early, Goodman's fourth-inning blast tied the game and shifted the momentum. The Rockies seized the lead for good in the fifth when Tyler Freeman, who finished with three hits, delivered a clutch RBI single. This kind of timely hitting is exactly what a team needs to break out of a slump.

The real story on the mound was Chase Dollander. Entering the game with two outs in the first inning, the reliever delivered a masterclass, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings, striking out nine, and allowing just one hit to secure the win. Victor Vodnik then slammed the door in the ninth for the save, sealing a much-needed team effort.

For the Astros, who have now dropped nine of their last eleven, missed opportunities were the theme. They loaded the bases in the seventh, but couldn't capitalize, a stark contrast to the Rockies' efficiency. The win provides a spark for Colorado as they look to build momentum, while Houston searches for answers to reverse their recent slide.
