HOUSTON (AP) Brian Bixler drove in a career-high three runs on three hits, including his first career homer, and Justin Maxwell and Brian Bogusevic also homered as the Houston Astros held off the Kansas City Royals for a 9-7 win Monday night. J.A. Happ (5-7) yielded four hits and two runs in 6-plus innings to break a four-game losing streak. It was his first start since allowing 11 hits and eight runs–both career highs in Houston’s 10-0 loss to San Francisco in which Matt Cain threw a perfect game. Maxwell hit a two-run homer after Bogusevic’s solo shot in Houston’s five-run eighth inning. Jonathan Sanchez (1-3) allowed six hits and four runs in six innings in his second start since a month-long stint on the disabled list with tendinitis in his left biceps.
