Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• Buehrle's 11 strikeouts marked just the second time in his career he's reached double digits in that category. He's reached 12 strikeouts only once, in an April 16, 2005, game against the Mariners. Buehrle was 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA in two starts against Houston last season. He threw his only complete game of 2013 against the Astros on July 25 in a 4-0 shutout.
  
• Melky Cabrera's Sunday was full of threes. The Blue Jays outfielder hit his third home run of the season, marking the first time in his career he has homered in three consecutive games. It was also the third leadoff home run of his career.
  
• SS Ryan Goins, CF Colby Rasmus and 3B Brett Lawrie are among the Blue Jays' slumping hitters. While Goins isn't expected to produce show-stopping numbers at the plate, but he's a dismal 1/16 to start the season. Lawrie is 2/21, and Rasmus is 2/22 through seven games.
  

 

Astros:

• Brett Oberholtzer was dealt a loss by the Yankees in his first outing this season, allowing three runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander was 4-5 with a 2.76 ERA through 13 appearances in 2013, his first Major League season.
  
• Jason Castro made an impact in his return to the lineup on Sunday, lifting a two-run homer off Angels starter Jered Weaver in Houston's 7-4 win. Castro had missed the previous two games with a bruised right foot.
  
• The Astros, like the Jays, are off to a slow start at the plate this year, hitting .191 as a team through seven games. Nearly a quarter of their hits (10 of 41) have been home runs and they have nearly as many extra-base hits (20) as they do singles (21).
