Astros Dump Toronto, 7-5, to Win 4th in a Row
Bo Bichette had a good game, but he could not keep the Toronto Blue Jays from falling, 7-5, to the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The Toronto shortstop was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 in the loss. Houston reliever Hunter Brown picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. James Norwood was tagged with the loss. With the win, Houston boosts its record to 5-2.

Houston took a 6-5 lead on Jose Altuve's 2nd home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Toronto pitcher James Norwood in the bottom of the seventh.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Houston manager James Woolsey.
