HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
Goodman\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Chase Dollander (2-1) took over with two outs in the first and pitched 5 1\/3 scoreless innings for the win. He struck out nine and allowed only one hit.<\/p>\n
Victor Vodnik walked one in a scoreless ninth for his second save.<\/p>\n
Jose Altuve had two hits for the Astros, who have dropped nine of 11.<\/p>\n
Altuve hit a leadoff single in the first and moved to second on a wild pitch by opener Juan Mejia. Houston took a 1-0 lead when Altuve scored on a single by Yordan Alvarez.<\/p>\n
With two outs, Mejia plunked Christian Walker on the arm with a pitch before a single by Joey Loperfido scored Alvarez to make it 2-0. But the offense stalled after that, and the Astros finished with five hits.<\/p>\n
Houston starter Ryan Weiss walked Kyle Karros, Brenton Doyle and Edouard Julien to load the bases with no outs in the third. Freeman grounded into a double play that scored Karros to cut the deficit to 2-1.<\/p>\n
Goodman homered off Weiss to open the fourth.<\/p>\n
Doyle singled to start the fifth against reliever Christian Roa (0-1) and stole second base. There was one out when Freeman singled to center field to score Doyle and put the Rockies on top.<\/p>\n
Goodman doubled with two outs, but Freeman was tagged out at the plate to end the inning.<\/p>\n
The Astros loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh, but Carlos Correa lined out to leave all the runners stranded.<\/p>\n
RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (1-0, 2.16 ERA) starts for Colorado on Friday against RHP Tyler Glasnow (1-0, 4.00) in the opener of a four-game series against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
