Hunter Dozier hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the Kansas City Royals earned their third straight win over Houston, beating the Astros 3-2 Wednesday night.
Dozier homered off a slider from reliever Blake Taylor to help the Royals post their 31st come-from-behind victory of the season, fourth-most in the American League.
The game ended when Andrew Benintendi threw out Chas McCormick trying to score from second on a single by Jose Altuve.
Nicky Lopez had three hits for the Royals.
Neither starter factored in the decision. Zack Greinke gave up one run on five hits over six innings. He didn’t walk or strike out a Royals batter. Brady Singer allowed two runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings, walking two and striking out six.
The Royals will send LHP Mike Minor to the mound as KC goes for the sweep this afternoon at 1:10.
