Astros seek to control destiny going into Royals series | |
For one game at least, that ominous dark cloud lifted from above the reeling Houston Astros. Mauricio Dubon stroked a walk-off single to right field that plated Yainer Diaz with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning on Wednesday for a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The Astros (85-68) averted a three-game series sweep and stayed atop the American League West standings through an off day on Thursday and into the opener of a three-game set against the Kansas City Royals on Friday. The Astros had dropped 13 of 18 games at home and fell one game below .500 at Minute Maid Park before rallying to win the finale against Baltimore. The victory felt long overdue for the Astros.
