In a dramatic turn of events, the Houston Astros faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays, with the game showcasing significant moments from key players. Initially, Jose Altuve put the Astros ahead with a solo home run in the fifth inning, marking the game's first score. However, the Blue Jays, down to their final out in the ninth inning, saw Davis Schneider hit a game-winning two-run homer off Astros' Josh Hader, flipping the script to a 2-1 victory for the Blue Jays. This outcome was a result of late mistakes by the Astros, including a base running blunder by Altuve in the eighth inning, which contributed to their squandered lead and eventual loss. Meanwhile, Joey Gallo and Yordan Alvarez also made headlines. Gallo, playing for the Nationals, went 3-for-4 with a home run, his first hit of the year, helping his team to a 5-3 victory over Pittsburgh. Alvarez showcased a remarkable performance, hitting his first and second home runs of the year in a single game, contributing to the Astros' efforts, which included their fourth round tripper of the night.

Two outs in the ninth. Astros up 1-0 after Altuve base running blunder ended the eighth. Hader sailing with two outs. Oops! Gives up a two-out, two-run homer. Jays lead 2-1. Unbelievable!
