Christian Walker homered in a three-run second, Ryan Gusto pitched well into the sixth and the Houston Astros beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Wednesday night to sweep the three-game series.

Time will tell if the Astros end up regretting Christian Walker’s contract in a similar way to José Abreu’s ill-fated contract. The parallels are hard to ignore, most notably that both are veteran first basemen well into their thirties when they signed with Houston.
