Kansas City left fielder Dairon Blanco was a significant contributor in his team's 4-2 triumph over the Houston Astros. He was 2-2 with a double and a walk for Kansas City. Carlos Hernandez earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. His record is now 4-0. Earning his 6th save for Kansas City was Scott Barlow.

Franmil Reyes dealt the Astros a blow in the bottom of the fifth. Batting with a runner on 2nd and Kansas City leading 3-2, Reyes, who is tied for 8th in the AL in RBI with 26, hit a 1-1 sinker for a run-scoring single.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Reyes.

Their 16-22 record puts the Royals 13th in the American Division.
