HOUSTON -- Blue Jays manager John Gibbons had no idea Norichika Aoki has that kind of power.
Despite playing 32 games in an Astros uniform at Minute Maid Park, Blue Jays outfielder Norichika Aoki rifled his first home run in Houston's home ballpark this season on Sunday -- a two-run bullet in the seventh inning of the Blue Jays' 7-6 loss.
Almost a week after being traded from Houston to Toronto for Francisco Liriano before Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, Aoki made his Toronto debut in the eighth inning of Friday's game against the Astros, grounding out to the end the game in his only at-bat.
