					| Astros Jolt Rockies, 5-4, with Late Rally |  
					| Joe Gardner helped his team muscle past the Colorado Rockies, 5-4. In the game, the Houston left fielder slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Kyle McPeak, now 2-2, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 4 and walking 0. Colorado is in the throes of a 20-game losing streak. 
 The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Houston shortstop Jesse Scott, facing Tye Dickinson, had a run-scoring  ground out. It gave the Astros the 5-4 win.
 
 "Ah, the sweet taste of victory," Scott crowed after the game.
