KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Vinnie Pasquantino broke out of an early season slump with a home run and a career-high five RBIs to lead the Kansas City Royals to an 11-2 win over the Houston Astros for their sixth straight victory. Pasquantino went 3 for 3 with a single, double, homer and a walk with two runs scored after entering the game 4 for 37 with four singles and no RBIs. The Royals scored seven times in the third inning. Seth Lugo allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings. The Royals’ six-game winning streak is their longest since last September. Spencer Arrighetti took the loss for Houston in his big league debut.
