Astros Drop Royals, 9-5, with Late Score
Astros first baseman Rowdy Tellez put his stamp on his team's 9-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. Tellez went 2-2 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for Houston in the contest. The Royals, at 57-82, have lost 5 straight games.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Francisco Alvarez came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Alec Marsh, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 7-5.

"We're not exactly playing great right now," said Chris Rios, the Kansas City manager.
