Astros Grind Out 2-1 Win
The Kansas City Royals were defeated, 2-1, by the Houston Astros at Kauffman Stadium, even though Melvin Von Heezik pitched well for Kansas City. The winning pitcher was former first round draft pick Borivoj Kadera. He tossed 103 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits. Everett Riley earned the save for Houston, his 22nd.

Jason Norman, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2070 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Norman contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning to put Houston up, 2-0.

Norman called the win a testament to his team's "grit."

Houston has now won 3 straight, while the Royals have lost 3 in a row.
