For a professional baseball organization that is down to four healthy arms to start games, the real story of this game was the continued dominance of Hunter Brown. Where would the Astros be without him? Surely not two games over .500 and only three games out of first place.
Add seven more scoreless innings to his ledger, bringing his season ERA down to 4.07 whereas, as late as May 22, it was as high as 7.71. This is Brown’s eighth straight quality start, during which he has allowed only seven earned runs.
From the Blue Jays perspective, this was a game of missed opportunities.
