Astros Fall to Royals, 6-3
Kansas City Royals starter Michael Grove was in fine form against the Houston Astros at Kauffman Stadium, leading his team to a win, 6-3. Grove went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 2-0. The Astros drop to 6-7 and continue their mediocre start to the 2024 season.

Maikel Garcia dealt the Astros a blow in the bottom of the sixth. Batting with the bases loaded and Kansas City leading 4-2, Garcia, who finished 4th in the AL in triples with 8 last year, hit a 1-0 sinker for a 2-run single.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Grove.
