Royals Come Up Short at Houston, 4-3
|
Houston beat Kansas City at Minute Maid Park, eking out a 4-3 win. The win was due in large part to left fielder Yordan Alvarez. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. The winner was Luis Garcia, who threw 96 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 4 hits. Ryan Pressly collected his 46th save.
The Astros got a big at-bat from third baseman Alex Bregman. For the game, Bregman went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 21st home run of the season gave Houston a 2-1 lead.
"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Alvarez.
The Astros, now 95-67, have won 4 in a row.
