GAME STORY: A promising homestand ended with a dud on Wednesday at Coors Field, when the Rockies forgot their bats at home.
After that, Gomber settled back in to put up zeros in the fourth and fifth innings, working around a baserunner in both frames. But the quality start went sour in the sixth, when Houston plated three runs to take a commanding 4-0 lead, especially based off how poorly Colorado was swinging the bat.
Kyle Tucker led off the fourth with a double off the wall in right-center, and José Abreu’s RBI single brought him home. The next batter, Chas McCormick pumped Gomber’s slider 405-feet into the left-center bleachers, prompting Gomber to yell at himself as he stomped around the mound, hanging his head.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber sits in the dugout after giving up three runs in the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astros, Wednesday, July 19, 2023, in Denver. The Rockies’ offense, meanwhile, was lifeless until the very last moment. Colorado only registered one hit off Bielak through 5 2/3 innings, Michael Toglia’s infield single in the second, and couldn’t capitalize on three walks and a hit batsman.
Colorado didn’t fare any better against the visiting bullpen. Rafael Montero pitched a scoreless seventh for Houston, then fellow right-handers Ryne Stanek and Ryan Pressly finished slamming the door on the Rockies, who struck out eight times and failed to generate consistent hard contact against any of the Astros’ arms save for C.J. Cron’s 444-foot solo bomb to center off Pressly in the ninth.
