Rockies Sweep Astros, Gain Home Momentum

0:00It's April 8th. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Colorado Rockies just swept the Houston Astros out of Coors Field, grabbing their first win at 500 since March 29th, 2000. 25. They crushed Game 3-9-1, wrapping up a clean homestand that has the squad buzzing with fresh energy. Michael Lorenzan owned the mound in that finale, bouncing back from a nightmare debut where he coughed up nine runs on 12 hits. This time, he locked it down for 5-2-3's innings, surrendering just one run and flipping the script on his Rocky Mountain welcome. The bats came alive early, with Edawar Julian sparking a first inning run, then the second frame turning into a five run explosion after Houston lost. Outfielder Jake Myers, Tobac Titiness and Starter, Christian, have a year to shoulder issues mid-warm up. Hunter Goodman crushed a solo homer later, padding the lead with smart base running in timely hits. He's tacked on insurance in the 6th and 8th, stealing bases and capitalizing on walks

1:03to seal the deal. This marked their first home sweep of the Astros since May 28th through 31st, 2012. Houston's last year in the national. Legal. Momentum's building in the thin air, and if you're catching the next vibe at Coors, mark April 18th for Hello Kitty Night, perfect timing for, more Purple Pride.
