Astros strike early, end Moyer's win bid Sat Apr 7, 2012 10:31pm EDT (Reuters) - The Houston Astros spoiled 49-year-old Jamie Moyer's bid to become the oldest Major League pitcher to win a game on Saturday, cruising past the Colorado Rockies 7-3. Jordan Schafer, the first batter Moyer faced, drilled the Colorado left-hander's sixth pitch over the right field fence to start the Astros on the way to victory. Moyer gave up another solo homer, to J.D. Martinez in the fourth, before departing after five innings. He was tagged for five hits and four runs in taking the loss. He struck out two and walked one. Houston stretched their lead to 6-0 before Colorado scored one run in the eighth and two in the ninth. Astros starter Lucas Harrell allowed only three hits in seven shutout innings to pick up the win. Reporting by Gene Cherry in Wilson, North Carolina; Editing by Peter Rutherford
