Houston Astros dominate Blue Jays in series with 7-2 win and record‑breaking performances
The Houston Astros beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 on Tuesday, highlighted by Taylor Trammell’s three‑run homer and José Altuve’s three hits with two RBIs. Starter Hayden Wesneski delivered a quality start, allowing two runs over six innings. In the previous game of the three‑game set, Toronto won 5‑4 in the 10th inning when Ernie Clement hit a go‑ahead two‑run home run; Chase Lee recorded his first major‑league save and Astros manager Joe Espada was ejected after a disputed replay review.
Separately, Altuve reached 2,473 career hits, surpassing Bob Abreu and moving into fourth place among Venezuelan MLB hitters. The milestone came as the Astros continued a strong stretch, while infielder Carlos Correa began an accelerated rehab program that could see him return earlier than the expected six‑to‑eight‑month timeline.
