Hunter Goodman homered, Ezequiel Tovar, Troy Johnston and Edouard Julien had two hits apiece, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Houston Astros 9-1 in Denver on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Michael Lorenzen bounced back from his last start to get his first win with Colorado. Lorenzen (1-1) allowed one run on seven hits in 5 2\/3 innings to help the Rockies sweep the three-game series from Houston at home for the first time since 2012.<\/p>\n

Right-hander Zach Agnos tossed 3 1\/3 innings of relief to earn his first save for Colorado, which has won four in a row.<\/p>\n

Christian Walker had two hits for the Astros, who lost outfielder Jake Meyers to an injury in the second inning. Houston has dropped its last four games.<\/p>\n

The Rockies jumped ahead in the first on Tyler Freeman\u2019s RBI single, and the Astros tied it in the second on Brice Matthews\u2019 two-out single. Matthews entered the game for Meyers, who appeared to sustain an injury to his abdomen on a check swing.<\/p>\n

Matthews took over the at-bat with a 1-2 count and delivered a single to left.<\/p>\n

Colorado batted around against AJ Blubaugh in the bottom of the second. Johnston led off with a double, moved to third on Brenton Doyle\u2019s single and Kyle Karros walked to load the bases.<\/p>\n

Julien drove in two with a single, Mickey Moniak hit a sacrifice fly and Julien scored on a wild pitch. Tovar capped the rally with the first of his two doubles to make it 6-1.<\/p>\n

Blubaugh (1-2) allowed five runs on four hits and walked three in his one inning of work.<\/p>\n

Houston loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth inning, chasing Lorenzen, but Agnos got Christian Vasquez to ground out to end the threat.<\/p>\n

Goodman hit a solo homer in the fourth off of Enyel De Los Santos, and Colorado added to the lead in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Reliever Christian Roa hit two batters around a walk to Moniak to load the bases, and TJ Rumfield hit a sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

Johnston capped the scoring with a run-scoring single in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
