Astros 3, Blue Jays 2
TORONTO — Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer, Wandy Rodriguez pitched six solid innings and the Astros won a series for the first time since April 29-May 1, when they took two of three from the Brewers. Houston had lost 11 of 14 going in. Rodriguez lost all three interleague starts last season while posting a 10.93 ERA. But the left-hander continued his strong stretch; the Astros have won four of the past five games he has started.
