Carlos Gonzalez homered three times, and Michael Cuddyer and Dexter Fowler also left the building as the Colorado Rockies defeated the Houston Astros 13-5 at Coors Field last night. It’s the third straight win for the Rockies, the first time they’ve done that since April 20. Cuddyer got things started for the Rockies with a grand-slam in the first inning. After the Astros battled back to tie the score at 5, Gonzalez homered to lead off the fifth. Fowler’s three-run homer and Gonzalez’s two-run jack highlighted a six-run sixth inning that broke the game open. CarGo’s third homer was a solo shot in the eighth inning. The Rockies and Astros wrap up their four-game series in Denver tonight, with the Rockies going for their first sweep of the season. ESPN Radio 1410 has all the action, with pregame coverage starting at 7:05 and the first pitch at 7:40.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The newest member of the Nebraska Supreme Court will be sworn in next week. The court says a ceremony for 56-year-old William Cassel, of O’Neill, is on Monday at the Capitol in Lincoln. Gov. Dave Heineman appointed Cassel to the high court in April. Cassel, who served on the Nebraska Court of Appeals since 2003, replaces Justice John Gerrard, who left the Supreme Court for an appointment as a federal judge. Cassel spent 12 years as a district court judge, and worked as a private-private attorney in Ainsworth from 1979 to 1992. He will serve as the justice from the Supreme Court’s third district in eastern Nebraska, which includes 19 counties and parts of Douglas and Sarpy counties around Omaha.
