TORONTO, May 21 (UPI) -- Jose Bautista socked a pair of homers and Yunel Escobar added a tiebreaking shot Saturday in the Toronto Blue Jays' 7-5 victory over Houston.
Bautista hit his 17th homer of the year in the sixth, a three-run clout that brought the Blue Jays to within 4-3, and Escobar's bases-empty homer in the seventh gave Toronto its first lead at 5-4.
Bautista struck again in the next frame, adding a solo shot and finishing the game 3-for-4 as the Blue Jays won for the eighth time in 10 games.
Jose Molina added a pair of hits and an RBI and Casey Janssen (1-0) picked up the victory after coming on in the seventh to escape a no-out, two-on jam.
Brett Myers (1-4) absorbed the loss, surrendering six runs (five earned) on eight hits over 6 2/3 innings for the Astros.
Chris Johnson drove in three runs with two RBI singles and a sacrifice fly in Houston's loss.
