The Kansas City Royals held a lead for most of tonight’s game against the Houston Astros before surrendering a couple late runs to fall 4-3 at Daikin Park.
Kansas City had a chance to give Colton Gordon a “welcome to the show” moment in the first inning of his major league debut. Bobby Witt Jr. smoked a liner into left-center that one-hopped the wall. Witt considered holding up at second before putting on the accelerator and sliding into third base with a triple. He would be stranded though when Vinnie Pasquantino was retired 1-3 and Salvador Perez struck out.
