Houston Earns 5-4 Win
The Kansas City Monarchs could not turn a fine performance from pitcher A. Rube Foster into a win. Instead, the Houston Colt 45s prevailed, 5-4. Foster threw 7.1 innings allowing 4 runs. Houston reliever Tug McGraw was the winner. His record is now 5-4. Eddie Guardado took the loss. Sparky Lyle, credited with the save, is now 4 for 5 in save opportunities.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Carlos Correa came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Eddie Guardado, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 5-4.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Correa said.

Houston has 3 straight wins, Kansas City 3 straight losses.
