Colt 45s Turn Back Monarchs, 3-2
The Kansas City Monarchs and Houston Colt 45s provided some drama for the home crowd.

Stephen Strasburg had a strong outing for the Houston Colt 45s against the Kansas City Monarchs at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 3-2 win. Strasburg, now 1-0, was the winner. In 5.2 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 2, walking 0, and allowing 2 runs.

Tony Gwynn, who finished 4th in the NL in doubles with 51 last year, had a direct impact on the outcome. Gwynn contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put Houston up, 3-1.

Strasburg called the win "a team effort."

The loss drops Kansas City to 3-2.
