Meyers goes 3-for-4, Leads Royals to Win
The home crowd had a good time watching the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals get after it.

Kansas City center fielder Jake Meyers contributed significantly to his team's 10-8 win over the Houston Astros. Meyers went 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Royals. Kansas City has a mark of 5-4 after the win.

The Royals got a big hit from left fielder Michael Helman. In the bottom of the sixth, Helman smacked a 2-run home run off Houston pitcher Jameson Taillon. It was his 2nd home run of the season. Suddenly, the Royals were ahead, 5-4.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Meyers.
