The Astros scored 8 runs in the last 2 innings to make a remarkable comeback vs the Rockies on Tuesday night. Using 6 different pitchers during the game, the bats came alive in the 5th and 6th inning and scored the winning run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 6th. Peter Marshall got a 2 out hit in the last inning to score the tieing run. Karl Pringle choked up on his bat and punched a 2 strike hit to right to score Mark Robichau with the winning run. The Rockies were paced by an outstanding performance by Daniel Rothenburg who had 4 hits and 2 HR's. Cameron Brown played his 1st game of the year and got a single in his only at bat. Matt Scaramuzzi got a key double in the 5th inning to drive in 2 runs and get the game close. Good defensive game at catcher by Joe Silver.
