Fourth Inning


As the game progressed into the fourth inning, both teams remained scoreless until K.C.'s bats began to show signs of life. Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia each contributed a hit for their team during this period. However, despite these efforts and a total of two hits in this inning alone, they couldn't bring any runners home.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning marked a turning point for K.C., as they finally broke through on offense. With Mark Canha and Hunter Renfroe stepping up with crucial hits, it was Jonathan India's performance that truly shone as he drove in their sole run for this matchup. This brief surge put them ahead momentarily but also highlighted their struggle throughout much of this contest.

Sixth Inning


In response during Houston's half-inning playtime came an answer from ‘Stros’ lineup; one run scored thanks largely due diligence shown by Kyle Tucker who managed another hit alongside Yordan Alvarez’s contribution which helped level things out between these two competitive squads once more before heading further downfield towards later stages where decisive actions awaited resolution yet again...
