If you had only watched Royals/Astros games this year, you’d think the Royals were an aggressive, dynamic team high in the standings while the Astros were a tight, mistake-prone team going through a tough year. Baseball is funny that way! The Royals took the season series from the Astros by taking advantage of their mistakes in a 3-2 win on Saturday night in Houston.
Like last night, the Royals jumped on the Astros in the opening frame. Maikel Garcia reached on an infield single, stole second, and advanced to third on a wild throw. MJ Melendez launched a sacrifice fly to score him and make it 1-0 Royals.
