Kansas City Defeated By Astros, 5-3
The inspired effort of Kansas City first baseman Oscar Carcamo was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-3, to the Houston Astros. Carcamo was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. Joey McKeever was the winner. Over 7.1 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 8 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. The win has Houston at 48-86.

Chris Jokela went 2 for 4 with a double, while adding 3 RBI for Houston. The slugging right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a 2-run single off Danny Gomez. It was his 94th hit of the season.

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