Houston ? The Houston Astros statement sweep of the Kansas City Royals came at a cost, as center fielder George Springer could be heading to the disabled list because of an injured right wrist.

Jose Altuve had three hits and scored the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning to help the Astros complete the three-game sweep with a 6-5 win on Wednesday night.

Springer, who is hitting .264 with 13 homers and 29 RBIs, was plunked with a 95 mph fastball thrown by Edinson Volquez in the fifth inning. He left the game shortly after and was having X-rays after the game. But manager A.J. Hinch wasn’t optimistic about the injury.

“We’re going to get more and more tests with some specialists,” Hinch said. “It was painful for him. There was some swelling. It was in a tricky area; anything around the hand and the wrist area is cause of great concern. We’ll see how it goes but, I do think it’s going to be a DL.”

The game was tied at 5 in the seventh when Kelvin Herrera (1-2) plunked Altuve on the forearm. Altuve stole second and reached third on a lineout. He put Houston on top when he beat the tag at the plate on a fielder’s choice by Chris Carter.

The play was reviewed and upheld.

“I knew it was a close play,” Altuve said. “With those plays, you never know if you are safe or not. But I was hoping to be safe because I know our bullpen is really good, and I think that run will be enough to win the game.”

The Astros trailed early before taking a 5-3 lead after a four-run fifth inning. A two-run triple by Jarrod Dyson off Josh Fields tied it in the seventh before Altuve scored the go-ahead run.

Luke Gregerson (3-1) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.

Carter and Marwin Gonzalez hit solo homers for Houston, and Evan Gattis drove in two runs.

The Astros have the most wins in the American League at 47-34, but the Royals have the best winning percentage in the AL at 44-31.
