Astros Sputter Again. Drop Two Games Under .500 in 4-2 Loss to Blue Jays

The Astros just don’t seem to want to get their noses over the level mark.

Every time the Astros have won a game this year to get to within one game of .500, they lost the next game. Tonight was no different, as Astros starter Jose Urquidy could not hold the potent Jays lineup, and the Astros were unable to mount much offense of their own.

Urquidy was cruising through the first three innings until Vladimir Guerrero started the scoring in the fourth with an opposite-field homer to right. Not to be outdone league-leading slugger Matt Chapman followed soon after with another solo shot to right.
