TORONTO, ON - APRIL 30: George Springer #4 of the Toronto Blue Jays runs out a solo home run in the first inning of their MLB game against the Houston Astros at Rogers Centre on April 30, 2022 in Toronto, Canada. – George Springer homered twice against his former team, leading José Berríos and the Toronto Blue Jays over Houston 2-1 Saturday to snap the Astros’ season-long winning streak at four.

He was the MVP of the 2017 World Series when the Astros won their only championship.Berríos gave up seven hits, struck out five and walked two. Toronto improved to 8-2 in one-run games, the most one-run victories in baseball. The Blue Jays have not lost back-to-back games since Sept. 24, 2021, an MLB-best 30-game stretch.

Yuli Gurriel followed Alvarez’s homer with a walk and advanced on Kyle Tucker’s single. Berríos then threw Gurriel out at third on Jeremy Peña’s attempted sacrifice and retired the next two batters to end the inning.Baker said Peña, who hit a three-run homer Friday, bunted on his own after misinterpreting a sign.
