The Astros are back to .500 at 11-11 after a shutout, 7-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. They have not been above .500 once this season.
It started out as a pitching duel at first, with Astros starter Hunter Brown and Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman combining for only two hits through the first four innings, but it was the fifth when the Astros bats finally came alive.

After a strikeout to leadoff the bottom half of the fifth, back-to-back-to-back hits from Cam Smith, Brendan Rodgers and Zach Dezenzo, hitting in the seven, eight and nine hole, put the Astros on the board first with Dezenzo’s RBI-double, just his second RBI of the season.
