Santana helps Astros to 8-4 win and sweep of Rockies - Monitor
Leadoff hitter George Springer extended his hitting streak to 11 games as the Astros swept the four-game, home-and-home series with the reeling Rockies. Hitting right behind Springer, Carlos Correa stole three bases and then, in the No. 3 hole, Tucker came through time and again, including a homer in the first and a double in the fifth that scored the go-ahead run. Astros: 2B Jose Altuve (hamstring) wasn't in the starting lineup as he goes through treatment. “He doesn't feel a lot of discomfort, which is an encouraging sign,” Hinch said. OF Jake Marisnick left the game in the eighth with left hamstring discomfort. Source: www.themonitor.com
