“We couldn’t get any offence going other than that one home run by Russ”, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “He had good life on his knuckleball”.

Fister has now allowed three runs or fewer in 17 of his 21 starts this season.

“Ive been feeling great, feeling strong, ” said Dickey. At that point, I didn’t ask a lot of questions, I just said, ‘You’re done for the night. “But I felt really good tonight”.

Lance McCullers left with right elbow discomfort, and the Houston Astros’ offence continued to sputter.

We’d like to get him acclimated to the big leagues a little bit and determine his role later.

To replace McCullers, the Astros turned to Joe Musgrove, who impressed in his major-league debut.

It was Musgrove’s major-league debut and he was impressive, striking out eight of the 15 batters he faced.

Blue Jays: OF Ezequiel Carrera (left Achilles strain) was placed on the 15-day disabled list. The Astros recalled Brad Peacock from Triple-A Fresno to take McCullers’ roster spot. OF Carlos Gomez (right hamstring) was back in the lineup Tuesday after missing the last four games.
