Kirk supplies the early swing
The final was Toronto Blue Jays 3, Houston Astros 1, with Kirk providing the game’s only home run Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at Daikin Park. The announced attendance was 22,789.
Kirk opened the scoring in the second inning by homering to left center, a 373-foot shot that gave Toronto a 1-0 lead. It was the only homer listed among the scoring plays, and it accounted for the first of the Blue Jays’ three runs.
Toronto adds on in the fourth
The Blue Jays stretched the lead in the fourth with two more runs. Sánchez singled to left, and Okamoto scored on a throwing error by left fielder Trammell. On the same play, Sánchez was safe at second and Springer was safe at third, putting Toronto ahead 2-0.
Clement followed with a sacrifice fly to left that scored Springer for a 3-0 Toronto lead. Those two fourth-inning plays, along with Kirk’s homer, made up all of Toronto’s scoring.
Houston’s response stops at one
Houston got its only run in the sixth. Peña singled to center, scoring Diaz, with Peña moving to second and Smith to third. That cut Toronto’s lead to 3-1, which remained the final score.
