Stats of the Day: Blue Jays let the homers fly

• Batting leadoff for the Astros, George Springer went 5-for-5 but didn't score a run. Springer is one of 31 leadoff hitters since 1914 to have a five-hit, no-run game, and the second one to do it this season, joining Dee Gordon (April 18). Before this year, it hadn't been done since 2009 (when Adam Kennedy managed to pull off this feat twice). Springer is the first Astro to do this since Bill Doran on July 11, 1985. Springer also stole a base in the game, making him one of six players since 1914 to have a five-hit, one-steal, no-run line out of the leadoff spot.
