5 Straight Wins for Astros
The Houston Astros topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-5, with first baseman Christian Walker playing a big role. Walker was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Astros in the win. The save went to Hunter Harvey, his 2nd this season. The win puts Houston at 5-0.

Had Walker not come through in the bottom of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Walker hit a run-scoring single. The Astros took the lead, 6-5, and never looked back.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Houston manager Logan F.
