Kansas City's Luke Hochevar endured some good-natured ribbing from his teammates after pitching one of his best games of the season. They found it funny that he was so happy about getting his first major league hit. Hochevar pitched into the eighth inning, two relievers completed the shutout, and Billy Butler hit a solo home run to lead the Royals to a 2-0 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
