Astros Beat Royals 15-6 in Exhibition After Jose Altuve Exits with Leg Injury

The Houston Astros appear ready for the start of the regular season after earning a 15-6 win over the Kansas City Royals in their final tuneup Tuesday.

No pitcher went more than two innings in the exhibition game, but George Springer scored three runs to key a dominant Houston offense to the road win at Kauffman Stadium. The lineup scored in seven of nine innings while 12 different players got a hit.

The Astros beat the Royals 6-3 in their only other summer camp game Monday, and the experienced team seemingly has enough playing time to begin playing games that count.
