Bixby, Astros Too Much for Royals
The Houston Astros cut down the Kansas City Royals by the score of 8-1, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Tommy Bixby. Bixby went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Astros. The Astros raised their record to 7-4.

In the top of the seventh, Jeff Capps stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Royals were trailing 6-1, but had the bases loaded. That's when Yong-chan Sagong made a terrific pitch and Capps flied out. Gone was the dream of a Kansas City comeback.
