The last-place Kansas City Royals havent had a season full of thrills, but they can boast about being the team that ended the Astros 11-game win streak the longest in the majors this season.

Houston appeared to be coasting toward an even dozen after building a 7-1 lead over the Royals by the top of the fourth inning Tuesday, but then Kansas City began to chip away.
