Royals Win at Houston, 7-1
The 7-1 Kansas City win over Houston was due largely to Corbin Carroll. The Royals right fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Royals, at 74-87, have now won 4 straight.

With Kansas City leading 3-0 in the top of the fourth, Carroll hit a changeup from Mitch Spence for a 3-run home run. It was his 22nd home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 6-0.

"Winning never gets dull," said Carroll.
