Toronto starter Kevin Gausman tied a career-high with 13 strikeouts and the Blue Jays hit three home runs in a 5-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
George Springer, Daulton Varsho and Bo Bichette went deep as Toronto won for the fifth time in six games.
Mauricio Dubon homered for the Astros , who lost for the fourth time in their last 12 games. Houston starter Hunter Brown gave up three earned runs and three hits over six innings. The lead held until Springer's two-run shot in the third inning. His ninth homer of the year barely cleared the wall in left-centre field.
A replay showed the ball hit a railing behind the fence and bounced back into the field of play. It was Varsho's 11th homer of the season.
