Astros Trip Royals, 3-2, in Extra Innings
Houston parlayed a decent outing from starter Jesus Romero into a solid win over the Kansas City Royals. The final score was 3-2. Houston reliever Joe Jimenez picked up the win, upping his record to 3-5. Jamir Leal absorbed the loss. The win elevated the Astros to 69-54.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Houston center fielder Luis Solorzano, facing Jamir Leal, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Astros the 3-2 win.

"Tough ballgame, tough loss," said Kansas City manager Steve Strzepek.
