The start of July started tough with their series against the Astros, but even though they weren’t able to win the series, they didn’t get swept and were competitive to the tune of being outscored just 17-15.

In the finale, things were tied at five runs apiece. But an offensive burst in the bottom of the seventh inning resulted in two runs being scored by Colorado after a pair of singles and a double.

Rockies fans held their breath when Houston's outfielder Jake Meyers hit a triple to lead off the ninth inning, with him scoring one batter later on a ground out by Jose Altuve.

Things got even more nerve wracking when the Astros put together back-to-back singles with two outs that resulted in the tying run being on second. But reliever Seth Halvorsenon forced a pop up to record the final out and get Colorado to their 20th win of the season.
