Multi-HR Game for Jones in 7-4 Win
The timely hitting of Druw Jones helped the Houston Astros down the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-4. Jones went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Astros. Caleb Ferguson came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 3 innings. His record now stands at 4-5. Jonathan Sprinkle got credit for the save for Houston. It was his 4th of the year.

Jones had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 2-2 curveball from Over Galue, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Astros a 7-4 lead. It was the 15th home run of the year for Jones.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Houston manager Tim B.

The Astros lead the American League West Division by 5½ games.
