The Toronto Blue Jays will attempt to start another winning streak on Saturday when they face the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in the third of four consecutive meetings. Toronto had won six straight games entering Fridays battle with Houston, but a 3-1 loss put that streak to rest. With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Gregorio Petit hit his first career home run to give the Astros a 2-1 edge. Robbie Grossman added an insurance run in the frame when his sacrifice fly brought in Jose Altuve. Chad Qualls then pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 12th save and give the Astros the win, their third in the last five games. Toronto wasted a stellar outing from J.A. Happ in the loss. The left-hander allowed just one run over seven innings, but his squad only managed six hits in support. R.A. Dickey will take aim at his 10th win of the season on Saturday when he starts for Toronto. Although Dickey has a Cy Young award to his credit, he has only reached double digit victories three times in his previous 11 MLB seasons, although he has done so in three of the last four seasons. He is currently 9-10 with an ERA of 3.91 in 23 starts, which is tied for the most in baseball. Dickeys last start was a strong showing, as he allowed just a single run over seven innings while posting a season-best 10 strikeouts against Boston. The Blue Jays won that contest 14-1 and have won Dickeys last two starts. This will be Dickeys second start of the year against Houston. In the first, which came on April 10, he lasted seven innings, but allowed five runs in a 6-4 loss. In his career he is 2-3 with a 4.29 ERA against the Astros. Left-hander Brett Oberholtzer will toe the rubber for the Astros in Saturdays contest. Oberholtzer is just 3-7 on the campaign, with a mediocre ERA of 4.30. He has pitched fairly well in his last three games, with an ERA of 3.15 in those starts. Both of his last two starts came against Oakland. He let up three runs in 6 2/3 innings last Monday after tying a season-high by pitching seven innings of two-run ball six days prior in Oakland. On April 8 Oberholtzer made his first career appearance against Toronto. He allowed three runs on as many hits over 5 1/3 innings in taking his second loss of the campaign. Earlier in the season, Toronto took two of three from Houston. Alex English Jersey .

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the Houston Texans No. 1 pick in the draft, was on the field Tuesday for the first time with former NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.CHICAGO -- About the only pitch that Chris Sale wouldnt make Monday night was his case for the American Leagues Cy Young Award. Then again, if he keeps pitching like he has so far this season, he wont have to say much. Sale pitched seven effective innings in his first outing since the All-Star break and Adam Dunn had two RBIs and scored a run to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 3-1 victory over the slumping Kansas City Royals on Monday night. Sale (9-1) wasnt at his best, allowing seven hits and a walk in seven innings, but he worked out of jams in the fourth and sixth innings. He struck out eight and now has allowed three runs or less in 14 of his 15 starts this season. Those certainly appear to be Cy Young-worthy numbers, right? "Like Ive always said, I dont pay too much attention to that," Sale said. "I have a job to do and I have to focus on doing that and playing games. Were right in the hunt right now, so these are the dog days and you have to bear down now. Nows not the time to be thinking about yourself or some trophy or whatever." Chicago manager Robin Ventura, though, didnt hesitate to respond when asked if Sale was a legitimate candidate for the award despite missing a month earlier in the season. "Oh, yeah, absolutely," Ventura said. "Theres no reason why he shouldnt be in the discussion. I dont care if he missed a month or not. Hes good." Dunn went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks as the White Sox for the third time in four games since the break. Danny Valencia went 1-for-2 with a RBI for Kansas City, which has dropped four straight and seven of eight. The Royals had a team meeting before the game, but couldnt turn around their fortunes as they dropped two games below .500 (48-50). Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (5-9) gave up three runs on five hits in six innings to get the loss. He had been 4-0 against the White Sox with the Royals before Monday. "I thought Guthrie threw the ball all right," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "The first inning they had some well-placed groundballs. He was a little off command-wise in the first inning. Ended up hitting two guys by mistake but still kind of limited tthe damage there.dddddddddddd" The White Sox took a 2-0 lead in the first inning as the first four batters reached base and then Dunn singled up the middle against the shift -- essentially hitting the ball to the normal shortstop position -- to score both Adam Eaton and Alexei Ramirez. The Royals trimmed the lead in half in the fourth. Alex Gordon singled with one out, stole second and then scored on a two-out single by Valencia. The next batter, Alcides Escobar, doubled down the left-field line, but Valencia was nailed at the plate as left-fielder Alejandro De Aza and Ramirez got the ball to catcher Tyler Flowers for the putout to end the inning. "Thats huge," Sale said of the play at the plate. "Thats a game-changer, a game saver, just gives us momentum. It was awesome." The White Sox regained the two-run edge in the sixth as Dunn scored on a sacrifice fly by Gordon Beckham to make it 3-1. That was plenty of a cushion for Sale, who has allowed a total of three runs in 23 ? innings in his last three starts. Ronald Belisario pitched and eighth and Jake Petricka worked the ninth for his fourth save. "I think Im just trying to get better day in and day out," Sale said. NOTES: Royals 1B Eric Hosmer was scratched about an hour before game time with a right hand contusion.

K.C.s Salvador Perez was back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday with a groin strain. He originally was going to catch but switched to DH when Hosmer was scratched. "He feels much better," manager Ned Yost said. "Hes not a speed demon to begin with. Its still probably going to affect him a little bit running, but he can catch and swing and do everything else." ... Abreu doubled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. ...
