Royals Beaten By Astros, 8-4
A 4-RBI performance from the fan favorite Yainer Diaz helped the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-4. With the victory, the Astros upped their record to 42-30.

Houston used the timely hitting of Alek Thomas to capture the win. The center fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Astros on top, 8-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Diaz said after the game.
