Hunter Brown's impressive performance on the mound guided the Houston Astros to a resounding 7-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-handed pitcher struck out a season-high nine batters over seven innings, allowing just two hits and one walk, extending his scoreless streak to an impressive 24 innings. The Astros showcased their offensive depth, with Jose Altuve contributing a two-run double and Brendan Rodgers adding two RBIs to the mix. This win marks Houston’s third victory in four games, and their second shutout of the season, while the Blue Jays continue to struggle, having been blanked for the second time this year.

In the fifth inning, Houston broke open the game with a four-run surge, highlighted by Dezenzo’s double that drove in Cam Smith and set the stage for Altuve's double off the left field scoreboard. Meanwhile, Kevin Gausman of Toronto had a tough night, surrendering four runs over six innings. The Blue Jays' offensive woes persisted, having been held scoreless in three of their last four games at Houston.
