Josh Smith grounds into a game-ending double play in his first at-bat as a #Bluejays. He'll fit right in. #Jays lose a game, lose Trey Yesavage to a wonky knee and Vladdy's hamstring appears to be an issue again. Rubber match tomorrow afternoon with Jameson Taillon's Jays debut!

#Bluejays go to the ninth in Houston needing five to tie. If they can't come back, they'll be four games out of a playoff spot with only 48 games to play.

Looks like Guerrero's right leg is bothering him after he busted it down to first base on that routine grounder to third, ending top8. He's staying in the game. #Bluejays

Daulton Varsho is very aggressively sent home and is meatcake at the plate. Schneider to Gimenez to Kirk. #Bluejays

"Three-fourths of every pitch (Bennett Sousa) throws is going to be a slider," says Caleb Joseph. Now THAT would be cool. #Bluejays

When you decide to go with a six-man rotation, it leaves you a reliever short. When your starter comes out injured after two innings, you have to push your long guy a bit and then use higher-leverage arms. Hence the Chad Dallas bot5 and Braydon Fisher in bot6. #Bluejays down 6-2.

Taylor Trammell actually hits one out this time. A clothesline to right field. #Bluejays down 6-2 bot5.

Jose Altuve rips a line drive down the 3B lines that Okamoto gets a glove on but can only knock down. #Astros back on top 3-2 bot5. 2on, 2out.

Hayden Wesneski throws a 55-footer that Yainer Diaz can't block and Straw trots home with the tying run. #Bluejays

Former #Astros Jesus Sanchez is not having a good game, but ex-Stro Myles Straw sure is. Triples home to score Andres Gimenez to follow his double in the 3th and #Bluejays are down 2-1 top5.

Unsurprisingly, #Bluejays report that Trey Yesavage left the game with left knee discomfort. His knee appeared to buckle while throwing a warm-up pitch getting ready for bot3.

Cam Smith with a hard line single to left and Jesus Sanchez lets go a Candy Maldonado throw so #Bluejays are down 2-0. Anything close and the runner is out by 10 feet.

Yainer Diaz singles past a diving Andres Gimenez and Jose Altuve scores. #Bluejays down 1-0 with 2on, 2out bot4 after Dallas got the first two hitters of the inning.

Alejandro Kirk's first missed challenge was an excellent one as far as leverage goes. Would have been the third strike on Yordan Alvarez, ending bot3, and the ball missed by less than a tenth of an inch. That one, on the first pitch to Taylor Trammell with 2out in bot4, was not. #Bluejays are out.

Yesavage seems to have hurt his left knee. He's coming out of the game. When #Bluejays tell us what's up, I'll let you know. Chad Dallas is going to take over with as much time as he needs to warm up. 0-0 bot3.

#Bluejays get a Myles Straw double to deep left-centre to prevent them from going hitless the first trip through the batting order, but then Daulton Varsho hauls in a Nathan Lukes ducksnort and Vladdy grounds out. Trey Yesavage is getting a visit from the trainer.

Six-pitch top2 for Hayden Wesneski against Kirk, Sanchez, Clement. #Bluejays making it easy on the righty in his second start back from Tommy John surgery. 0-0 as they go to bot2.

Springer flies out to Varsho, Varsho flies out to Straw. This is so weird. #Bluejays
