Astros Unload on Blue Jays, 9-2

One day after embarassing themselves in a 9-1 home loss to the Rangers in Bizarro world, a different Astros team showed up tonight to restore the Universe to its proper balance.

As if they were taking out their frustrations, the Astros exploded for seven glorious runs to start the game. It was a slugfest. Even the outs were loud against Jays starter Kevin Gausman, and some of the loudest hits were by bats that have been mostly quiet so far this year.

It started with a single by lead-off Mauricio Dubon. How long can he keep this up?
