Royals Absorb 3-0 Home Loss
Houston starter Kevin Jones put a stranglehold on the Kansas City offense. The right-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Astros to a 3-0 win. The 6th-place Royals dropped to 57-63.

Houston used a clutch at-bat from David Humphries to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Astros ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Houston manager Houston Manager said.
