The Kansas City Royals defeat the Houston Astros 4-0 in the series finale, snapping a four-game losing streak. Stephen Kolek earns the win after scattering five hits and pitching into the eighth inning. He strikes out four batters and walks one during his outing, limiting Houston to minimal offensive chances throughout the game. Maikel Garcia drives the Royals’ offense, recording three hits and driving in three runs. His production helps Kansas City score enough runs to maintain control from early through late innings. The win comes as the Royals improve their position after a stretch of setbacks, while the Astros are held to four runs under Kolek’s pitching. Multiple reports describe the same key contributions: Kolek’s run-prevention performance into the eighth and Garcia’s three-RBI, three-hit effort. The final score reflects a complete team defensive and pitching effort from Kansas City and an inability for Houston to generate sustained scoring.
