Astros Outdo Royals in Extra Innings
The Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, at Kauffman Stadium. Houston third baseman Josh Hordge, who led the NL in triples with 16 in 2037, collected 2 singles and 1 double with 3 RBI. Kevin Victorian earned the save for Houston, his 3rd of the year. The Astros improved their record to 67-55 with the win over Kansas City.

Had Hordge not come through in the top of the 11th, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Hordge hit a 2-run single. The Astros took the lead, 5-3, and never looked back.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Hordge.
