The Kansas City Royals wrap up their home stand looking to sweep the struggling Houston Astros on Thursday afternoon.
Winners of six straight games, the Kansas City Royals aim for their second consecutive series sweep today as they play host to the Houston Astros in a getaway day matinee. The Royals earned a four-game weekend series sweep over the Chicago White Sox and rolled that winning streak into two wins over Houston including an 11-2 blowout on Wednesday. Veteran right-hander Brady Singer (1-0, 0.68 ERA) makes his third start of the season for the Royals having only allowed one earned run in 13.1 innings of work. The Astros will counter with 25-year-old Hunter Brown (0-1, 6.43 ERA) who makes his first start since surrendering five runs in three innings in a loss to the Texas Rangers on Friday.
