Astros ride Diaz’s two-homer day to 4th straight win

Diaz hit a solo homer within the second inning and a two-run homer within the fourth, each off Rockies starter Chase Anderson. The Astros scored 4 occasions within the fourth, capped by a two-run homer by Peña, who had missed the earlier 5 video games with a stiff neck. Peña and Diaz each have 10 homers.

Mauricio Dubón, filling in for injured second baseman Jose Altuve, added an RBI single within the seventh inning.

Astros starter J.P. France (4-3) delivered his sixth consecutive high quality begin. He gave up three runs and 6 hits in six innings, throwing 102 pitches. He’s the primary Astros rookie to have not less than six consecutive begins of not less than six innings since Chris Sampson in 2007.
