The veteran righty also finished with eight strikeouts as his fastball-changeup combination continues to generate a lot of swings and misses. Estrada has struck out 78 batters over 68 2/3 innings, which ranks third in the American League behind Boston's Chris Sale and Tampa Bay's Chris Archer. Estrada has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his 11 starts this season, and now has a 3.15 ERA.
Jose Bautista delivered the big blow on offense with a three-run homer to left, his ninth long ball of the season and eighth of May.
