Royals Upend Astros, 4-1
Kansas City used a superb performance from starting pitcher Chris Scalise to down the Houston Astros, 4-1. Scalise, the winner, moves to 2-1. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 8 and giving up 1 walk. The American League Central-leading Royals have a record of 74-62.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Mark Baker to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Baker, "one at-bat at a time."
