Following tonight's game against the Seattle Mariners, the first-place Astros take on the Kansas City Royals for three games this weekend, April 7-9. Tickets can be purchased online at www.astros.com/tickets, at the Minute Maid Park Box Office on Texas Avenue or by phone toll free at 1-877-9ASTROS (1-877-927-8767).
