Royals Nip Astros, 7-6
The Kansas City Royals beat the Houston Astros, 7-6, at Minute Maid Park. Brian Shepherd, in particular, was impressive. He went 2 for 5 with a triple, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Kareem Jackson, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities. Kansas City is last in the American League Central Division with a record of 75-83.

Kansas City used a clutch hit from Mike Andreas to get the win. The right fielder drilled a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Royals ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was terrific getting this win," Andreas said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
