HOUSTON (AP) - Roger Clemens pitched seven strong innings for his 334th win, Morgan Ensberg hit a three-run homer and the Houston Astros completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 6-2 victory on Wednesday.
Clemens (6-3) allowed two runs and five hits, struck out four and walked two, lowering his major league-leading ERA to 1.51. The Rocket, ninth on the career wins list, has won three straight decisions for the first time this season.
Ensberg hit the go-ahead homer in the third. The Astros scored three more runs in the seventh with the help of some terrible Colorado defense, and John Franco and Russ Springer combined to pitch two scoreless innings for Houston's fifth win in six games.
