After appearing to get back on track with a strong finish to a homestand, the Colorado Rockies couldn’t keep their momentum going on the road. A trip to face the woeful Houston Astros and a matchup with winless Felipe Paulino on Wednesday night might be what the Rockies need to get another run started. Colorado will try to avoid a season-high fourth straight road defeat as it opens a two-game set against a Houston team that’s lost five in a row. After dropping nine of 15, the Rockies won three straight to conclude their most recent homestand, but they opened a seven-game trip by losing twice to Chicago this week. Colorado fell to 8-13 on the road with a 6-2 defeat Tuesday night. The Rockies scored two runs for the third straight game, with Todd Helton driving them in with his first home run. Manager Jim Tracy is hoping that will ignite his first baseman, a career .338 hitter against Houston.

Colorado will look for better results in its first meeting with the NL-worst Astros, who have dropped 16 of 21. Paulino’s turn in the rotation wouldn’t appear to give Houston a chance to end those struggles. The Astros have lost 17 of 18 games in which the right-hander has appeared dating to last July and all seven this season. He’s 1-13 with a 6.41 ERA in 15 starts over that span. Paulino also comes off his worst outing of 2010, allowing a season-high seven runs in a season-low 4 2-3 innings in an 8-2 loss at San Francisco on Friday night. Paulino is one of two pitchers to drop his first six decisions this season, and only Pittsburgh’s Charlie Morton has more losses with seven. The Astros, owners of the majors’ worst offense, have been outscored 27-11 during their losing streak and given Paulino three runs in his last five starts. Paulino went 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in two starts against the Rockies last season.
