Toronto and Houston met at Minute Maid Park in front of a lively crowd.

Toronto designated hitter Jorge Soler had 5 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Houston Astros, 10-4. Kyle Gibson was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. Nathan Eovaldi notched his 3rd save in 3 chances.

Soler had a big at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the fourth inning, when he hit a 2-run double. The Blue Jays went on to win.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Soler. "And not try to do too much."

Toronto has now won 5 in a row.
