Astros Tag Blue Jays with 6-5 Loss
The Houston Astros did just enough to secure a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5, at Rogers Centre. Nobody did more than center fielder Mauricio Dubon. Jaime Melendez, the winning pitcher, is now 6-3. He went 5 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 3. Ryan Pressly was credited with the save, his 22nd in 23 tries.

Yordan Alvarez, the 2019 Rookie of the Year Award winner , had a direct impact on the outcome. Alvarez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Houston up, 4-1.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Houston manager James Woolsey.

The win lifted the Houston record to 43-41.
