Houston

Charlie Morton struck out 13 in seven stellar innings, Jake Marisnick hit a three-run homer in the eighth after preserving the shutout with a big defensive play in the sixth as the Houston Astros got a 7-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Morton (10-1) scattered four hits and walked two for his third straight win to become Houston's first 10-game winner.

Evan Gattis put Houston up with a two-run single in the fifth. Marisnick padded the lead with his shot to left field with one out in the eighth and Alex Bregman, who tied a career-high with four hits, added a two-run homer with two outs in the inning for his second straight game with a home run.
