Astros back McHugh to take Game 1 in KC

"I was happy to kind of extend our lead some," Springer said of his solo shot in the fifth, which made it a 4-2 game. "I mean, obviously, they had just hit another homer ... and we're kind of needing something right there. Jose [Altuve] got thrown out on a stolen base. So it was just I was glad to kind of extend our lead there and help the team."
