Trammell’s three-run homer pushes Astros past Blue Jays 7-2

Fifth-inning swing decides it

Trammell delivered the biggest swing after Toronto had pulled even, hitting a three-run homer to right in the fifth inning to send the Houston Astros to a 7-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at Daikin Park.

The home run, measured at 388 feet, was the only homer of the game. It came after Altuve had already put Houston back in front with an infield single to shortstop that scored Alvarez and moved Walker to second. Trammell then drove in Walker and Altuve with the homer, stretching Houston’s lead from 3-2 to 6-2.

Houston builds, Toronto answers

The Astros scored first in the fourth inning. Diaz singled to left, bringing in Altuve and moving Trammell to second for a 1-0 lead. Smith followed with a single to left, and Trammell scored on a throwing error by left fielder Sánchez as Smith reached second and Diaz moved to third.

Toronto answered in the fifth. Straw tripled to center to score Giménez, cutting Houston’s lead to 2-1. Straw then scored on a wild pitch by Wesneski, tying the game at 2.

Houston responded in the bottom half. Altuve’s infield single scored Alvarez, and Trammell’s homer later in the inning gave the Astros a four-run cushion. In the seventh, Altuve singled to center to score Walker, making it 7-2.
