Seven hits won’t win many games. Even with Justin Verlander pitching. Unfortunately, of late seven hits is a good night for the Astros, who entered the game hitting below the Mendoza line as a team.
At least tonight they strung together a few of the hits, Alex Bregman getting an RBI single and Yuli Gurriel following soon after with a two RBI hit in the third inning.
The Blue Jays answered with a run in the fourth on singles by Raimel Tapia and Vladimir Guerrero. Tapia scored on a Lourdes Gurriel groundout that just missed being an inning ending double play.
