Royals Win at Houston, 7-2
The Kansas City Royals downed the Houston Astros, 7-2, at Minute Maid Park. Mike Meyerhoff led the way, going 3-for-5 for Kansas City. Chris Irvin, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-2. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 6 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 9 and walking 1. The 4th-place Astros have lost 7 straight games.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Gil Switzer, the former first round draft pick . Switzer contributed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put Kansas City up, 1-0.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Switzer.
