Astros Need Breakthrough in KC

The Astros are in a desperate slump, clinging to fourth place with a 31-39 record, and they need a win in Kansas City to salvage their season. Facing a Royals team on a modest winning streak at home, Houston’s pitching matchups look tough early in the series, but their ace is set to take the mound Sunday. Containing Bobby Witt Jr.—the Royals’ offensive engine—is key, while Yordan Alvarez’s MVP-caliber performance can’t carry them alone. With the Royals’ bullpen showing cracks, the Astros must capitalize on early opportunities and deliver timely offense to turn this series around and get back on track.
