Houston Astros' Jose Abreu, left, and Jeremy Pena, right, celebrate after they scored on a three-run home run by Pena against the Toronto Blue Jays during the eighth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, April 19, 2023, in Houston. – Luis Garcia tied a career high with nine strikeouts in seven shutout innings, Jeremy Peña capped a six-run eighth with a three-run homer and the Houston Astros defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 8-1 on Wednesday night.
“I hadn’t driven in a couple runs in a couple games, but I’m here trying to work every day,” Abreu said in Spanish through a translator. “That’s what we’re here to do.”Garcia scattered two hits and walked one. He lowered his ERA from 7.71 to 5.14. Garcia had allowed at least three runs in each of his first three starts while going no more than five innings in any of them.
“Eighth inning, you load the bases with the top of the order ,” Toronto manager John Schneider said. “It’s the guys you want up there and just didn’t push one across. That and kind of snowballing there in the bottom of the eighth against Zach and Adam . That’s the difference.”
