Toronto Gets 4-0 Win
The Toronto Blue Pirates handed the Houston Astros a loss at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 4-0. Yandy Diaz was one of the major contributors for Toronto. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Lucas Gilbreath, 1-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. The Blue Pirates have an impressive 79-42 record.

Toronto used the bat of Brandon Belt to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Blue Pirates ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Bottom line," said Houston skipper Bryan Rekar, "we didn't play well enough to win."
