Box score With new Astros president Reid Ryan sitting in the Diamond Club beginning the healing process with the frustrated fan base, closer Jose Veras sent the intimate crowd at Minute Maid Park home happy. Ryan has promised to start mending fences with the fan base, and that process will speed up with more performances like the one the Astros delivered to beat the Royals 6-5 Monday night. Dallas Keuchel pitched 6 2/3 solid innings on a night Jason Castro hit a solo home run and Matt Dominguez added a three-run shot to beat the Royals before a crowd of 12,989.
