Astros hit 5 homers to end skid with 12-1 win over Rockies
HOUSTON (AP) — Throughout their five-game losing streak, the Houston Astros failed time and again to get a big hit when they needed it.
They didn't have that problem Wednesday night.
Evan Gattis and Tyler White hit two homers each, Yuli Gurriel added a two-run shot and the Astros broke out of their offensive slump in a huge way with a 12-1 win over the Colorado Rockies to end their skid.
"We needed to have a little fun," manager A.J. Hinch said. "Obviously, nights like this produce that and the hits produce it. Hitters love nothing more than hits and runs.
