Astros Drop 7-4 Decision to Blue Pirates
The Toronto Blue Pirates grabbed a win, 7-4, over the Houston Astros at Rogers Centre. Toronto catcher William Contreras was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Toronto reliever Jimmy Herget picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Freddy Peralta shouldered the loss. Phil Maton collected save number 1.

Toronto took a 6-3 lead on Kevin Newman's 4th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Newman hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Houston pitcher Jakob Hernandez shaking his head.

Blue Pirates manager Roger Lambert praised Contreras after the game. "I keep telling everyone," he said, "'Don't go to sleep on this kid.'"

With the win, the Blue Pirates improved to 22-16.
