Astros earn 6th straight win

HOUSTON — Myles Straw’s RBI single with one out in the 11th inning lifted the Astros over the Rockies 2-1 on Tuesday, extending their winning streak to a season-high six games.

The back-and-forth finish came after the teams were scoreless going into extra innings, highlighted by splendid performances from starters Zack Greinke and Antonio Senzatela.

The right-handers had nearly identical lines: They both went eight innings, allowed just three singles and walked none. Greinke struck out seven for Astros, one more than Senzatela.

After both teams scored in the 10th, Abraham Toro started the Astros’ 11th on second base and the Rockies intentionally walked pinch-hitter Carlos Correa. A sacrifice bunt by pinch-hitter Garrett Stubbs moved up the runners and Straw singled to left off Jairo Díaz (0-1).

Andre Scrubb (1-0) walked one in a scoreless 11th for the win.

The Astros wrapped up a 7-1 homestand after losing five in a row. The Rockies have dropped five of their last six.

Raimel Tapia hit an RBI single with two outs in the 10th to put the Rockies up 1-0. A sacrifice fly by Kyle Tucker scored Alex Bregman and tied it in the bottom of the 10th.

The eight innings matched a career high for Senzatela. And he’s just the third pitcher in Rockies history to pitch eight or more scoreless innings and not get a win.

The Astros placed DH Yordan Alvarez, last year’s AL rookie of the year, on the IL with right knee discomfort.
