The Houston Astros dealt the Toronto Blue Jays a 6-5 loss at Rogers Centre. Steve McGuire, who is on pace for 102 RBI this season, was the star on offense. He went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. José Morán notched his 3rd save in 4 chances. After today's action, Houston sits at 57-90, while Toronto falls to 81-65.

Tyrone Ibarra, who is a three-time All-Star, helped out the Houston cause in the top of the eighth inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. For the game, the catcher drove in one run.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," McGuire told the Houston Daily.
