Getting an impressive start from Justin Verlander, Houston beat Kansas City by the score of 9-1. Tony Barnette notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. The second-place Astros have won 4 in a row.

Jose Altuve, the six-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Altuve contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put Houston up, 2-1.

"I really like what we did out there today," Verlander said after the game.
