Nine-run fourth propels Houston to 16-7 win over Toronto
HOUSTON — The Houston Astros snapped out of their offensive slump in a big way.
Alex Bregman hit a two-run homer and Marwin Gonzalez added a three-run shot as part of a nine-run fourth inning, helping the Astros end a three-game losing streak with a 16-7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.
Tyler White had four hits, including a two-run homer in the sixth and a solo drive in the eighth, and finished a triple shy of the cycle.
Houston scored seven runs during its skid.
