Astros Lose to Blue Jays, 7-2
Toronto starter Clayton Kershaw had a strong outing against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 7-2 win. Kershaw, the winner, moves to 9-4. He threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 2 walks. The Blue Jays saw their record improve to 31-39.

In the top of the seventh, Toronto first baseman Josh Bell had a run-producing at-bat. Facing Houston hurler Justin Lawrence, Bell drew a walk, driving in 1 run. That made the score 2-0, Toronto. For the day, Bell went 1 for 4 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Toronto manager Ryan Hicks. "Our pregame was pretty good."
