At The Astrodome the Houston Astros easily handled the Colorado Rockies by the
score of 5 to 1.
 
Houston came up with 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning when they had 4
base hits.  The highlight belonged to Moises Alou who brought a roar from the
partisan Astrodome fans when he lashed a single bringing home two
baserunners.  Houston out-hit Colorado for the game, 10 hits to 7.  
 
Sean Bergman(1-0) went 7 innings allowing 1 run for the win. John Thomson(0-1)
suffered the loss.  He was unable to control the Houston offense and allowed
8 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
