Victory Pushes Astros Record to 40-39
Josh Harrison led Houston to a win over Kansas City. The final score was 9-4. The shortstop collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. The Astros bumped their record to 40-39 with this latest triumph.

The outcome was still in doubt in the top of the fourth inning. With runners on 1st and 3rd and Kansas City trailing 2-0, Daniel Mengden needed to get a big out. On a full count fastball, Jesse Winker, who is tied for 10th in the AL in doubles with 22, struck out, putting the kibosh on a potential rally.
