Astros Knock Off Royals, 6-4
Houston designated hitter Alex Perez played a vital role in his team's 6-4 triumph over Kansas City. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 for Houston. Mark Gaither, the winning pitcher, improved to 11-7. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 1. With the victory, the Astros record now stands at 66-63.

Houston used the bat of Roy Lazzaro to get the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Lazzaro told the Houston Citizen. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
