A general view of a closed dome at Rogers Centre as the Toronto Blue Jays face the Houston Astros during a baseball game in Toronto on Wednesday, June 7, 2023. TORONTO — The Astros got another good start from rookie Ronel Blanco, but he was outdueled by Chris Bassitt.
The only damage the Astros did to Bassitt in a game that lasted 2 hours and 3 minutes, the shortest of Houston’s season, came in the form of Alvarez’s two-run homer in the fourth inning. “He gave us a great chance,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “He just made two mistakes. Both of them were sliders out over the plate. One was an 0-2 slider. Those guys, they don’t miss them. To give up two runs in six innings against those guys, he did a very good job.”
A week after picking up his first big league win by holding the Angels to two runs over 5 1/3 innings, the 29-year-old righthander threw a career-high six innings and limited the Blue Jays to just three hits. However, two of them were solo home runs, which meant he left with the game tied at 2.
