Tucker homers, triples twice; Astros beat Rockies, 13-6
(AP) Kyle Tucker homered, hit two triples and drove in four runs, and the Houston Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 13-6 on Wednesday night for their seventh straight win. The Astros had a season-high 20 hits to back a strong outing from Framber Valdez (2-2). Valdez held the Rockies to a run and five hits through seven innings before faltering in the eighth. Tucker followed Correas homer in the fifth with a triple, had a two-run triple in the sixth, singled in the four-run seventh and finished his night with a two-run homer in the ninth. Taylors singles in the fifth and sixth scored Tucker each time and chased Rockies starter Ryan Castellani (0-1).
