Moises Alou had 4 hits and 3 RBI at Kauffman Stadium as the Houston Astros

came back dramatically to top the Kansas City Royals by the score of 17 to

12.



Matt Herges(2-2) did what was required of him in relief and came away with the

win. He surrendered 2 hits and 2 walks in 1 and 2/3 innings. Houston bats

were hot in the 9th inning which saw them plate 6 runs on 6 hits. The

Houston offense man-handled the Kansas City pitching staff as they scored in

8 of the 9 innings.



Billy Wagner recorded the save, his 22nd. Matt Kinney(2-7) suffered the loss

in relief. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
