Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Astros
The Houston Astros picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 6-5. Starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was a big reason why. The victory gives the Astros a record of 22-22.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 16th inning, when Houston right fielder Matt Kemp, facing JoJo Romero, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Astros the 6-5 win.

In postgame comments, Kemp said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
