Astros Rough Up Blue Jays, 9-0
Ed Simmons was a vital contributor to the 9-0 Houston victory over Toronto. The Astros right fielder slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Eric Guy, who went 5 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with no runs on 3 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 8. His record now stands at 12-9. Houston is now 63-82, while Toronto is 71-74.

Houston third baseman Nelson Gomez contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the first. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 16th hit of the season and put the Astros ahead, 1-0.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Gomez told a Houston Gazette reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
