Royals-Astros Preview
(AP) -- The Houston Astros' starters have done a better job of late. That wasn't the case for Bud Norris the last time he took the mound, and he'll look to bounce back when he faces the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. Houston (13-32) defeated the Royals 6-5 on Monday, ending a four-game home losing streak and avoiding a third straight defeat there to Kansas City (20-21). MORE
