Zack Greinke tossed eight solid innings for his first win in nearly a month Tuesday, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros, and snapping a five-game skid for his club who's won just seven of their last 23 games.Greinke (9-3, 1.90 ERA) surrendered one run in the first before pitching seven shutout innings. He allowed eight hits overall, but not one extra-base hit, and no more than one per inning after the first.
The Royals (30-39) are currently sitting at fourth in the American League Central, 8.5 games behind the division-leading Detroit Tigers, and 1.5 ahead of the struggling Cleveland Indians.
P.S. Vacations are awesome. I missed you guys.
