Houston and Kansas City duked it out and the Astros came out victorious.

Houston Astros starter Shawn Dubin hurled his team past the Kansas City Royals, 3-2. Rafael Montero came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 1.1 innings. His record now stands at 1-0.

Kyle Tucker, the fan favorite , had a direct impact on the outcome. Tucker contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put Houston up, 3-2.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Kansas City skipper Judd Lasher.

The Royals fall to 5-8.
