HOUSTON (AP) — Zach Dezenzo drew a go-ahead bases-loaded walk and the Houston Astros took advantage of two Kansas City errors in a four-run eighth inning to beat the Royals 6-3. With two runners on and Astros trailing 3-2, Yainer Diaz hit a grounder to pitcher Lucas Erceg (2-5), who tried to barehand the comebacker, bobbled it and rushed a throw that got away from first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. José Altuve scored from second on the play to tie the score. After reliever John Schreiber intentionally walked Ben Gamel to load the bases and got Jeremy Peña to ground into a force out at home, Dezenzo drew a walk to force in Diaz. Mauricio Dubón followed with a run-scoring single to left field, and Peña scored on a fielding error by left fielder MJ Melendez on the play.
