Astros Bang Out 6-1 Win Versus Toronto
The Houston Astros got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher Daniel Mengden, but it was good enough for the club to take a 6-1 decision over the Toronto Blue Jays. The last-place Astros have won 4 straight games.

Houston relied on the hitting of Ben Zobrist to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Astros on top, 4-0. For the game, Zobrist had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Daniel did a tremendous job," said Houston manager Jim Reid.
