Season series: Tied 1-1
The Jays put together a dramatic, 9th-inning, 2-1 victory off Astros closer Josh Hader. Trailing 1-0 in the 9th, Jays LF Davis Schneider hit a 2-run, 2-out homer off Hader in the top of the inning.
The Jays scattered 6 hits off RHP Framber Valdez, but he tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings. It’s a little concerning since Toronto was no-hit the previous game. The Jays hadn’t scored a run in 19 consecutive innings until Schneider connected on the 2-run homer.
