A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros.

The Kansas City Royals topped the Houston Astros by a score of 9-4. Leading the way was right fielder Andy Morgan. Morgan went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Royals. Kansas City is now 74-85, while Houston is 90-69.

Francisco Ferrer came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The first baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"See ball, hit ball. When I think too much, that's when I get in trouble," Morgan told the Kansas City Observer.
