Drooping Astros Lose 6th Straight
The Kansas City Royals received a superlative performance from starting pitcher Hugo Coates, allowing them to bump off the Houston Astros, 5-1. Houston has now lost 6 straight.

Kansas City used a timely hit from Edwin Gonzalez to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Hugo knows how to get ahead of hitters, stay ahead of hitters, and put people out," said Kansas City manager Connor Gould.
