Three games against the Houston Astros followed by three games against the Baltimore Orioles could have spelled disaster for the Toronto Blue Jays. Both teams had had Toronto's number this season with the Astros up 3-0 and Baltimore up 6-4 in their respective head-to-head season series. But Toronto did what they have done all season, they battled, they overcame deficits, they pitched well and got timely hits.
It's the first time in three weeks in which Toronto played above .500 ball over the course of a week and it came at the best time as they managed to gain some ground on the teams around them in the playoff hunt.
