The Astros are sending out a decent starting pitcher in this game, but they are also sending out a great hitting team that is going to be able to rock Thornton who has had quite a few struggles on the season. What will not help the Blue Jays out is the fact that the team is going to have a problem hitting as well and that leads to the Blue Jay losing the game. Final Score, Houston Astros win 10-3.
