HOUSTON -- Ask his manager, and its been Brett Oberholtzers confidence and maturity that has made a difference for him on the mound. Chad Kelly Womens Jersey . On Saturday night, Oberholtzer had two other things going for him -- aggressive base running and hard hitting by his Houston Astros teammates. Jon Singleton wound up with an inside-the-park home run after a call was reversed on video replay, and Chris Carter and Jason Castro also homered as the Astros beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2. Oberholtzer pitched seven strong innings, and Jose Altuve scored the go-ahead run on consecutive throwing errors by Toronto. "Great all-around team win," Oberholtzer said. "It was fun to be part of and to watch. Arguably one of the better games weve played all around." Singleton drove in L.J. Hoes in the eighth inning before getting called out on the tag at home plate. The Astros appealed the call and had it reversed upon review. "I turned the burners on. I said I got to go," Singleton said of seeing the ball bounce off the wall in centre field as Torontos Anthony Gose slipped on the turf. "I just kept running." The Astros have homered in nine consecutive games. They led the American League in home runs in July with 32. Oberholtzer (4-7) gave up two runs and six hits while striking out five and walking one to win his second consecutive start. He retired his last 10 batters. "To see him be able to not only make those pitches but make them with confidence, lets me know that he has taken a huge step forward as a major leaguer," Astros manager Bo Porter said. R.A. Dickey (9-11) was tagged for five runs and nine hits over seven-plus innings. He struck out three. It was Dickeys first loss since July 18 after winning his previous two starts. Nolan Reimould and Jose Bautista drove in a run each for the Blue Jays, who left seven on base and were 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position. Altuve scored the tiebreaking run in the fifth. He singled on a line drive to centre. He bolted toward second and third after a botched pickoff attempt by Dickey and came home after third baseman Steve Tolleson failed to secure Danny Valencias errant throw. "Thats a base stealer," Dickey said of Altuve. "I am trying to pick him off. Unfortunately, the throw was up the line just a tad." Carter homered off Dickey later in the fifth. Castro hit a two-run homer off reliever Brett Cecil in the eighth inning. Hoes followed with a single before Singleton hit his 10th homer of the season off a deep fly ball to centre. "Today was one of those days we can definitely build off of and remember," Singleton said. "We all played well. We made plays on defence and offence." STRONG DEBUT Astros right-hander Mike Foltynewicz made his major league debut, pitching 2-3 of an inning and striking out Bautista. "It was an unbelievable feeling," Foltynewicz said. "They called down in the seventh inning and said Youve got the eighth, and the heart went into my stomach." He left to loud applause after treating fans to pitches in the high 90s. GREAT OUTDOORS Fans in attendance at Minute Maid Park were treated to a rare experience -- outdoor baseball in Houston in August. The game was the first since 2004 to be played with the roof open in August. Dickey said the open roof did affect his knuckleball. "It was .... and humid, but I was fine," he said. "I had a fine knuckleball." TRAINERS ROOM Blue Jays: Infielder Brett Lawrie (broken right index finger) continued his rehab assignment with Class-A Dunedin on Saturday night, playing third base. Lawrie fractured the finger June 22. He began his assignment Friday. Astros: Infielder Marwin Gonzalez (right hamstring) is expected to see action Sunday for the first time since July 29. With the Astros having a day off Monday, Porter decided to give Gonzalez an extra day. "He could have played today," he said. . Jesus Guzman, who left Fridays game with back spasms, underwent chest X-rays, which came back negative. Porter said Guzman will undergo more tests in the coming days. ON DECK Blue Jays rookie right-hander Marcus Stroman (7-2, 3.03) looks to continue his .... streak Sunday, opposite right-hander Scott Feldman (4-8, 4.39 ERA), who aims for his first win since June 29. Stroman has won his last three starts, allowing just one run in that span. Demarcus Walker Womens Jersey .C. -- Panthers offensive tackle Jordan Gross is saying goodbye to the NFL after 11 seasons. Garett Bolles Jersey . The Spanish champions decision not to sign a defender during the January transfer window may have backfired after Valencia took advantage of a lethargic, uninspired effort by its hosts at the Camp Nou, where former Spain coach Luis Aragones -- who previously coached the Catalan side -- was honoured after his death on Saturday. http://www.broncosproauthentic.com/Black-Friday-Jake-Butt-Jersey/ . Down 2-1 after Rick Nash scored on a penalty shot, the Oilers ran off four unanswered goals in the remainder of the second period on the way to a 6-3 victory on Sunday.WINNIPEG -- With injuries already becoming an issue for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, coach Mike OShea had his players doing a little yoga Wednesday to stretch their muscles at the end of practice. "It does concern me because Im responsible for player safety too," he said. "Its a response to what I noticed. There werent enough guys stretching after practice. If theyre not taking it upon themselves to do the right thing then Im going to coach them to do the right thing." Cory Watson just returned to the field this week after a hamstring injury he suffered on opening day of training camp this season. "Its football," said the teams top Canadian receiver. "Injuries are going to happen in any sport so youve got to be prepared for those things and be patient and hopefully things work out." OShea had nothing but praise for the way Watson plays football but says he may at some point discuss what he does in the off-season and other things that might help with injuries. "I cant tell you what he did all off-season and what he does (for conditioning) during the season i just know one thing. He plays football the way it should be played and with that there are ramifications." The coach got linebacker Ian Wild to lead the stretch since he does the same thing anyway every day after practice, but OShea says there is only so much players can do in the off-season. "Its virtually impossible to be in game shape come training camp," he said. "The only way to get in game shape is to play those games." He says the intense physical contact cant bbe simulated during the off-season. Jake Butt Youth Jersey. Many might argue it wouldnt be a great idea even if it could, since thats where injuries happen. Watson, 30, a native of Dollard des Ormeaux, Que, has missed a lot of games in his four previous seasons with the Bombers yet shines as their best Canadian receiver when hes on the field. He appeared in just 11 games in 2013 but still caught 36 passes for 516 yards and ranked third on the teams receivers list. His best year was his second with the team. In 2011 he caught 69 passes for 793 yards and he says he thinks he can beat that. In his 45 starts over four seasons he has four times exceeded the 100-yard mark. "I think I can do better than what I did in my second year," he suggests. "This year I have a role that demands a lot so I have to make sure Im in there, thats the most important thing. I have to make those plays happen." Watson is also a force on special teams and says thats a role he .......... as well. He hasnt had much time to work out with the teams four quarterbacks so far but says he has studied lots of film and will be able to get his timing down. "The most important thing for me right now is trying to get my conditioning in," he said as the Bombers prepare to open the regular season at home June 26 when they host he Toronto Argonauts. "Thats the focus right now. Timing is going to come." Defensive back Johnny Sears also returned from the injury list this week. But there were plenty of other players on the sidelines, including promising new Canadian receiver Julian Feoli-Gudino.
