How to Watch Astros at Royals (April 25): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

Winning streaks collide as the red-hot Astros open a three-game weekend set against the surging Royals

Riding a four-game winning streak, including a sweep of the Rockies earlier in the week, the Kansas City Royals have rebounded from a six-game losing skid earlier in April as they turn their attention to the visiting Houston Astros as their weekend three-game series begins on Friday night inside Kauffman Stadium. The Astros swept the Blue Jays mid-week and have now won five of their last six games and are above .500 for the first time since opening day as they send fourth-year right-hander Hayden Wesneski (1-1, 3.91 ERA) to the mound in search of his second win in three starts.

Kansas City will start veteran Seth Lugo (1-3, 3.90 ERA) looking to end his three-start losing streak and earn his second win in his last three starts against the Astros. Lugo, in his second season with Kansas City, has been victimized by a lack of run support as the Royals have scored a combined two runs in his last three outings. The 35-year-old Shreveport, Louisiana native won a career high 16 games with Kansas City last season while posting 181 strikeouts over 206.2 innings of work.

Astros left fielder Jose Altuve leads the team hitting .293 this season having collected nine hits in his last seven games and comes into the weekend on a four-game hitting streak.

The head-to-head series has been very streaky over the last two seasons with Houston winning each of the last four, preceded by six consecutive wins by the Royals. Kansas City has won five of the last six games at home in this series outscoring Houston 24-5 in the last two meetings last season.
