Astros allow late home run and fall to Blue Jays 3-2

In a game that could have gone to anyone’s side, the Astros dropped the second game of the series against the Blue Jays with a 3-2 score.

Astros’ hitters were silent after a two-run first inning and allowed a late home run from Santiago Espinal in the seventh frame to lose for the eighth time in the regular season and for the fourth consecutive time.

The Astros began the game down in the score 1-0 via ex-Astro George Springer’s four-bagger in the first episode, but they struck back fast. In the bottom second, Alex Bregman launched a two-run jack for his third dinger of the young campaign, a bomb against youngster Alek Manoah.
