“We’re going for the sweep,” said Rasmus, now the Houston Astros everyday left fielder, who headed south this winter as a free agent.
Rasmus hit a tie-breaking homer off Mark Buehrle in the sixth inning on the way to a 4-2 Astros win. Can this putrid Blue Jays season, billed as one in which they would contend in the wide-open American League East, get any worse than this?
