The Kansas City Royals go for their fifth win in a row when they host the Houston Astros in this series opener.
The Kansas City Royals host the Houston Astros, kicking off a three-game series on Tuesday night. The Astros have run baseball for the better part of a decade, but you can’t rule out the Royals in this series. Kansas City swept the Chicago White Sox in a four-game series over the weekend. The Royals also are 5-2 at home to start the season.
Kansas City completed the sweep with a 5-3 win on Sunday to drop the White Sox to 1-8 on the year. MJ Melendez hit another homer which was his third of the series to help KC rally past Chicago, who had a 3-0 lead. Cole Ragans will get the start against Houston. The lefty is 0-1 in two starts, but he has only given up two runs so far.

After losing the first two games of their series against the Texas Rangers, the Houston Astros won back-to-back games largely on the bat of Yordan Alvarez. He homered in his second game in a row and the Astros completed a comeback victory, beating Texas 10-5.
The Rangers scored all of their runs in the first inning and then the Astros bullpen shut it down from there. Cristian Javier will get the start tonight. He is 1-0 in two starts and has yet to give up a run.
