Blue Jays Dealt 7-1 Loss by Houston
Houston rode a fine outing from starter Lance McCullers Jr. to victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 7-1. Bryan Abreu collected save number 1. Houston is off to a hot start at 4-2.

Justin Dirden was 1 for 1, while adding 3 RBI for Houston. The 26-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Chad Green. It was his 3rd RBI of the season.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said McCullers Jr..
