Astros Take Down Royals, 5-4
The performance of Edgardo Arredondo proved critical in helping Houston beat Kansas City, 5-4. The Astros right fielder went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Houston reliever Andrew Painter picked up the win, raising his record to 2-0. Matt Diemer was tagged with the loss. With the victory, the Astros upped their record to 86-51.

Houston took a 5-4 lead on Aaron White's 19th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which White hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Ethan Hankins shaking his head.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," White said.
