Abreu Blasts Blue Jays, Astros Take Game 3, 7-5
Riding the 2-hit performance of first baseman José Abreu, the Houston Astros got a road win against the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-5, in Game 3 of the Round 3 today. Abreu went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Astros, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Korey Lee, the 25-year old catcher . Lee contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Houston up, 2-0.

"We ground out the win," said Lee. "That's all that matters."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
