The Toronto Blue Jays' struggles continued as they faced the Houston Astros, suffering a 5-1 defeat at Daikin Park. This loss marked their fourth consecutive defeat, bringing their record to a disappointing 12-12. The Jays' offense was nearly nonexistent, managing just two hits for the fourth time in five games played in Houston. Starting pitcher Chris Bassitt had a tough outing, allowing three runs in the first inning from a string of infield hits that knocked the wind out of the Jays early.

The only highlight for the Blue Jays came from Nathan Lukes, who hit his first home run of the season in the third inning. The team’s inability to generate any runners in scoring position throughout the game raises concerns, especially given their collective batting average of .247 in those critical moments. Despite this, many believe that the team's power hitters, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, will eventually find their groove as the season progresses.
