HOUSTON -- While the Houston Astros pitchers are breaking major league records for strikeouts in a series, the bats have gone silent. Joe Morgan Jersey .That trend continued on Thursday night as Astros pitchers struck out 11 and the offense could only muster up one run in a 4-1 loss as the Toronto Blue Jays won the series.Houston pitchers had a major league-record 61 strikeouts in the four-game series -- three more than the previous mark set by Cincinnati pitchers against San Diego in 2008. Astros pitchers also set a three-game series record with 52 against Baltimore from May 24-26.We all hate it collectively because we dont like going through this rut, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. I think the guys are handling it like pros. We believe in this group and they believe in themselves, but sometimes, you need to have a good day to realize all the work and extra conversations are worth it. Its the big leagues and its a game of adjustments -- its not a try-hard league.The Astros have lost eight of their last 10 games while getting outscored 47-21.Its been tough, Astros shortstop Carlos Correa said. Its been really hard to get going. We have not been able to score runs early or late in the games and thats frustrating.After being given a day off Wednesday, Bregman was 1 for 4 with a sixth-inning single.

Everyone just needs to do their job and not worry about what everyone else is doing. Most of the time, we end up scoring and beating teams, but were just going through a rough stretch.J.A. Happ won his ninth consecutive decision, Edwin Encarnacion reached 30 home runs for the fifth straight season en route to their eighth victory in 11 games.Its been a tough place for us to play; we won three games and had a chance to win all four of them, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. So we feel good about that. Not a lot of offense on either side but I think thats because the pitching was so good on both sides. We got some big hits and won some close games.Happ (15-3), who already has set his career high for wins, retired 12 of his first 13 batters and allowed one run and four hits in six innings. He is 9-0 with a 2.49 ERA in 10 starts since losing at Detroit on June 6.Happ struck out six and walked none, and Joaquin Benoit, Jason Grilli and Roberto Osuna completed the five-hitter. After walking rookie Alex Bregman leading off the ninth, Osuna struck out Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Evan Gattis for his 24th save in 26 chances.Devon Travis doubled leading off the first inning for the first of his three hits and scored on Josh Donaldsons groundout -- the first run in the series that did not score on a solo home run. On the previous pitch, Smoak took an 0-2 curveball on the low, outside corner and stepped toward the dugout thinking it was strike three, only to have home plate umpire Todd Tichenor call the pitch a ball.Toronto doubled the lead in the fifth when Justin Smoak swung over a curveball in the dirt for strike three and the ball hit off Gattis and bounced away for a wild pitch that allowed Russell Martin to score from third.Tyler White hit a run-scoring double in the bottom half for his first RBI since June 10.Travis singled in a run against Will Harris in the eighth, and Encarnacion connected against James Hoyt in the ninth for his 298th home run.It feels good, Encarnacion said about being close to 300. I know its going to happen but I wish it could happen with people on base so we could win some games.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: SS Troy Tulowitzki went 1 for 4 after missing three games after breaking his right thumb when hit by a pitch from Baltimores Chris Tillman on Sunday.Astros: INF Marwin Gonzalez (right hand soreness) was held out of the starting lineup but pinch hit in the seventh inning and grounded out.

Adam LaRoche hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning to lift Washington to its fourth consecutive victory with a 4-2 win over the Giants. Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez threw four shutout innings. San Francisco lefty Madison Bumgarner allowed just one run on an infield ground out in his four innings before the rain hit. "Four wins in a row, thats pretty good," said Gonzalez, who pitched despite a sore back and said the injury will not affect his next start. LaRoche sent a 1-0 fastball from Giants reliever Guillermo Moscoso (1-1) off the facing of the second deck above the Nationals bullpen in right field. That came after a leadoff single by Ian Desmond and broke a 1-1 tie. Tanner Roark (2-0) earned the win with two innings of relief after the delay. Rafael Soriano got his 30th save of the season. "Good little streak were on," LaRoche said. "Better late than never. But were still in a hole pretty good so weve got a lot of work to do." Thats because the winning streak has done little for Washington (58-60) in its pursuit of an NL wild-card berth. It remains 8 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot with just 44 games remaining after the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 6-4 in 11 innings on Tuesday. The Giants are struggling after winning their second World Series in three years last season. They are 7-15 over their past 22 games and at 52-66 in last place in the NL West. "Same thing weve been talking about," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We get our hits. We get them out there. We just cant get them in. Again, it came back to get us." Even with the winning streak, frustrations have mounted for the Nationals in recent days. Earlier in the 11-game homestand, outfielder Bryce Harper and manager Davey Johnson argued in the dugout late in an Aug. 7 loss to Atlanta. In the first inning on Tuesday, Gonzalez was late covering first base on a fielders choice ground out. After the inning, television cameras caught Washington outfielder Jayson Werth and Gonzalez in a verbal altercation in the dugout. Gonzalez had to be screened by pitching coach Steve McCatty as Werth walked away. Matt Joyce Jersey. "It stays between me and Werth," Gonzalez said. Werth refused comment after the game. "Just a little camaraderie going on," Johnson said. "Jayson sometimes can get a little vocal. He thought Gio was a little late covering first." The Giants had evened the score after the rain delay ended because of a Desmond error at shortstop with runners at first and third in the fifth. Joaquin Arias scored that run. San Francisco had scratched second baseman Marco Scutaro (stiff back), who was originally in the lineup. Arias replaced him and had three singles and a double for a career-high four hits and scored twice. Desmond began the fourth with a double to right-centre field. LaRoche followed with a single to right. Then Wilson Ramos hit a ball off Bumgarners right knee. It deflected to third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who threw out Ramos as Desmond scored to put the Nationals up 1-0. Gonzalez remained in the game despite the sore back, and kept San Francisco off the board. The Giants had runners at first and second in the fourth before Gonzalez struck out Brandon Crawford looking to end the threat. That was the end of his night at 69 pitches. Thunderstorms moved in and halted the game at 8:28 p.m. Kurt Suzuki added a run for Washington with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. NOTES: Harper didnt start the game because he had the flu, according to Johnson, but made a pinch-hitting appearance in the eighth inning. .
