Gerrit Cole struck out 12, and Evan Gattis and Tyler White each hit two of the Astros` season-high five homers as Houston rolled to a 12-1 win over the Rockies on Wednesday. The lopsided win coupled with the A`s loss increased the Astros` lead in the AL West to two games. Tyler Anderson allowed nine runs in 4 1/3 innings for the Rockies, whose four-game winning streak came to an end.
