Kansas City Beats Houston, 3-0
The Kansas City Royals got a magnificent performance from pitcher Colin Rodgers, who muffled the Houston offense en route to a tight, 3-0 Royals win at Minute Maid Park. Rodgers, the winner, moves to 5-3. He threw 6.2 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 2 walks. Gabriel Llanes recorded the save for Kansas City, his 3rd of the season.

Joe Washington, who finished 5th in the AL in RBI with 100 in 2023, had a direct impact on the outcome. Washington contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Kansas City up, 1-0.

"Colin is a gamer," said Kansas City manager Jim Tracy.

With the victory, the Royals upped their record to 21-21.
