Fields was one strike away from preserving the Astros’ two-run lead before surrendering a two-run triple to Royals center fielder Jarrod Dyson, a line drive to left-center field that scored both Perez and right fielder Alex Rios, who greeted Fields with a one-out single to left. Altuve stole second. Gattis grounded out, pitcher K.Herrera to second baseman Infante to first baseman K.Morales, Altuve to third.
