Blue Jays Post 7-4 Win
The timely hitting of Jesus Pantoja helped the Toronto Blue Jays down the Houston Astros, 7-4. Pantoja was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Blue Jays. The winning pitcher was Andres Sauri. He tossed 101 pitches over 7.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. John Ferch recorded the save for Toronto, his 16th of the season.

Toronto used the hitting of Mike McNamara to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 5-0. For the game, McNamara had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said McNamara, "one at-bat at a time."

Toronto is now 50-75, while Houston is 56-69.
