Regular season games returned to Mexico City for a second consecutive season on April 27-28, 2024, at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, featuring the Houston Astros and Colorado Rockies.
The two-game set marked the seventh regular series played in Mexico, with Houston playing in their first international series since 2019, when they last faced the Los Angeles Angels in Monterrey. The Rockies returned for the first time since 2019, when they took on the Diamondbacks in Monterrey.
The lineups were loaded for both teams, with Astros infielder José Altuve and José Urquidy playing in his home country, as well as Rockies outfielders Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones, who headed south of the border for the series.

MEXICO CITY -- The Rockies are the designated home team for the Mexico City Series games against the Astros on Saturday and Sunday. But as expected, Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú was overwhelmingly Astros blue. Well, Charlie Blackmon and the injured Kris Bryant showed up on the back of a couple...
