Astros Roll Over Royals, 9-1
Houston starter Hyun-jin Ryu put a stranglehold on the Kansas City offense. The left-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Astros to a 9-1 win. Ryu, now 6-2, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 3, walking 0, and allowing 1 earned run. The Astros bumped their record to 37-35 with this latest triumph.

Colin Moran hit a run-scoring double off Jordan Zimmermann in the top of the second, which put the Astros in front, 1-0. In addition to the double, Moran had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 4.

"That's the key at this level, throwing strike one," said Ryu. "Successful pitchers do it."
