Rockies Explode in 8-Run 5th, Top Astros 9-7

0:00On April 7th, the Colorado Rockies pulled off a 9-7 win over the Houston Astros on Monday 9th, sparked by an explosive 8-0-5th inning that flipped the game on its head. Troy Johnson let the charge with a solo homer, a double and a single, while Edward Julian, TJ Rumpfield, and Willie Castro all notched multiple hits. In the Rockies, 12 hit attack. That fifth inning rally kicked off with Julian's two-run single, and Rumpfield kept his part with a two-run triple his first ever in the majors, after, reaching base safely and nearly every game since his debut last month. Ryan Feltner earned the win with five and a third innings of work, allowing four earned runs, and Juan Mejia locked down his first save of the year, with hitless relief to close it out. Meanwhile, the Astros grabbed an early edge and rallied late with key RBIs, but tomorrow's matchup hits Rocky's lefty Kyle Freeland against Houston's. Mike Burrows as the series rolls on.
