Joe Saunders allowed just one (unearned) run over 5 1/3 innings Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Astros. Saunders gave up six hits and walked three, but he had little trouble navigating out of tight spots against the punchless Houston offense. The left-hander is now 11-13 with a 4.92 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 87/56 K/BB ratio in 162 2/3 innings this season. He'll get the Royals in KC next.
