Kansas City starter Aaron Nola pitched well against the Houston Astros at Kauffman Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-2. Kansas City now has a 3-game win streak.

It was a masterful performance from the popular Nola, who notched 8 strikeouts in 7 innings while allowing 2 hits. Nola, who finished 5th in the AL in innings pitched with 221.0 last year, goes to 6-2 on the year with 52 strikeouts.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said Kansas City skipper Bryce Shuck. "I can't complain."
