MLB: Houston 15, Colorado 11

After being overwhelmed by the Rockies 12-1 on Tuesday, the Astros produced 24 hits against five pitchers. The team record of 25 hits in a single game was established in 1976, a season in which the Astros achieved the feat twice.

Houston won for the fourth time in five outings, with every starter -- including pitcher Mike Hampton -- having a multi-hit game. The Astros scored three times in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings and recorded their huge offensive night without the benefit of a home run.

Blum drove in a run in the third with a fielder's choice grounder, produced a three-run double in the fourth and had an RBI double in the seventh.

Colorado had 12 hits, including a grand slam homer by Chris Iannetta during a five-run ninth inning.

Hampton (2-3) gave up five runs on seven hits over six innings to get the win.

Jason Marquis (4-3) was roughed up for nine runs on 10 hits in 3 2/3.
