The Astros go for their first win of the season when they host the Blue Jays on Monday night
The Houston Astros welcome the Toronto Blue Jays to town on Monday night for the first game of a three-game series. The Astros will be looking to get their first win of the season after they were swept in a four-game series by the New York Yankees over the weekend. The Astros struggled on offense during the opening series as they scored just 11 combined runs in the four games. Monday they will look to snap out of their funk and get that first win as they send Ronel Blanco to the mound. Blanco made just seven starts last season and went 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA.
