Blue Jays Rally Past Astros to Claim 2-1 Series Lead
When the games really matter, the Toronto Blue Jays put on their best show, beating the Houston Astros by a final score of 6-5 today. Danny Jansen was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Toronto now leads Houston 2-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

Adalberto Mondesi was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It was a solid team effort," said Jansen after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
