Jose Altuve had a couple Hall of Fame moments on Wednesday, while the Rockies lacked any game-changing ones of their own.

Altuve’s two-out, two-run single broke a tie in the sixth inning and lifted Houston to a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Three relievers protected the lead it provided after a stubborn six innings by starter Hunter Brown.
