There were some minor distractions this morning as details of a trade for Johnny Cueto slowly began to emerge, but the Royals kept things rolling on the field as they were able to knock off the Astros to secure a series victory.
The Royals struck early in the bottom of the first with a four-run inning. Three singles in a row led things off to load the bases with no outs. Salvador Perez grounded out to score the first run of the game before Alex Rios grounded out to third to score another run.
