Houston Beats Kansas City, 4-1
Mike Cunningham imposed his will on the Royals from the get-go. Relying mainly on his cutter, the right-hander spearheaded the 4-1 Houston triumph. Cunningham got the win, improving to 1-4. He gave up 5 hits and walked 0 over 7.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. The Royals fall to 12-15 and continue their lackluster start in 2025.

Devin Jones, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in hits with 36, had a direct impact on the outcome. Jones contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Houston up, 4-1.

"Clutch hitting plus clutch pitching usually equals a win," said Jones.
