Game Preview
By definition, the Houston Astros salvaged what was a lost week against the worst teams in the majors with a 7-1 road victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, a win that set the stage for a crucial final homestand of the regular season.
Houston (84-66) lost four of six games against the Royals and Oakland Athletics, the only two 100-loss teams in the majors. Yet, despite their struggles, the Astros extended their lead in the American League West to 1 1/2 games after the Texas Rangers lost 9-2 on Sunday to the Cleveland Guardians, who completed a surprising three-game series sweep.
The Astros will host the Baltimore Orioles (93-56) and Royals in a six-game homestand starting Monday against Baltimore. After finally securing first place in the division two weeks ago, the Astros have labored to create a cushion over their AL West rivals larger than 2 1/2 games. They should consider themselves fortunate that their recent woes haven’t been more punitive.
