It was a fun time at Minute Maid Park, where the Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros tangled.

Houston starter Robbie Ray had a strong outing against the Kansas City Royals at Minute Maid Park. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 6-2 win. Ray got the win, improving to 5-1. He allowed no hits and walked 1 over 6.1 innings. Ray allowed 1 earned run.

The Astros got a big at-bat from first baseman Dominic Smith. For the game, Smith was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 16th home run of the season gave Houston a 2-0 lead.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Bryce Shuck. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."

The 4th-place Royals have lost 6 straight games.
