Toronto starter Jose Berrios surrenders four hits over six innings as Blue Jays edge Houston Astros 3-2
After an inconsistent year in his first full season with Toronto, Jose Berrios is playing like the reliable starter that the Blue Jays traded for in 2021 and later signed to a long-term deal.
Berrios, who had a lofty 5.23 earned-run average last season, has allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings.“I remember those last seven outings from 2021 with the Blue Jays,” Berrios said, recalling his strong finish to that season. “I feel the same way .”Brandon Belt drove in Matt Chapman with a single for the go-ahead run against Houston starter Framber Valdez . Toronto has won nine of its last 11 games.Berrios allowed two earned runs, two walks and had two strikeouts.
Valdez issued three walks in the fifth inning and it proved costly. Chapman grounded into a forceout with the bases loaded to bring Varsho home. Houston reliever Phil Maton put two runners in scoring position in the sixth inning but escaped thanks to a slick defensive play by Bregman. The third baseman bare-handed a slow roller by Bichette and threw him out to save a run.
“I obviously take full responsibility for the mistake I made there,” Abreu said. “We lost because of me tonight. I take full responsibility.”Rogers Centre’s retractable roof was closed again due to lingering wildfire smoke from forest fires burning in parts of Ontario and Quebec.The rotation spot vacated after the demotion of Toronto right-hander Alek Manoah has yet to be filled.
