TORONTO -- The Houston Astros have won four straight after dropping six of their seven previous games, and they had an injection of youthful enthusiasm to thank for that in Friday nights 5-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.A pair or 23-year-olds in right-hander Joe Musgrove and outfielder Teoscar Hernandez played key roles.Musgrove pitched seven innings for his first major league win and Hernandez hit a home run for his first career major league hit.Hernandez played center field in his major league debut after being called up from Triple-A Fresno. It would be reasonable to expect that he will be back there Saturday for the second game of the series.Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick, who has started 26 games in center field this season, is listed as day-to-day after tweaking his right groin during the first game of the doubleheader sweep of Minnesota on Thursday.Weve got a pretty young group now, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. This is fun to watch these guys come up and break in. (Hernandez) showed incredible poise. That wasnt an easy day for him. He arrived at the ballpark a little under an hour before the game.The Astros will send out a more experienced starting pitcher Saturday in right-hander Collin McHugh (7-9, 4.69 ERA), a 29-year-old who will be making his 24th start of the season.He will be facing 24-year-old Aaron Sanchez (11-2, 2.85 ERA), who took his first loss since April 22 last Saturday in Kansas City.Sanchez has pitched a career-high 145 1/3 innings this season and, initially, the Blue Jays wanted to put him in the bullpen to control his innings. Instead, they went to a six-man rotation and, with a day off in the schedule Thursday, the right-hander will be pitching on six days rest against the Astros.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that eventually, Sanchez will be passed over on a scheduled start from time to time as a way to keep his innings in check. Gibbons would not reveal any schedule for that, if there is one.Sanchez will be making his 23rd start of the season Saturday.At Kansas City last Saturday, he permitted the Royals nine hits, one walk and four runs in six innings while striking out three.He had not allowed more than two runs in his previous eight starts, a span in which he went 5-0 with a 1.67 ERA.Those starts followed a June 12 outing in which he allowed six runs in a 10-9 win over Baltimore. In three career games, including one star, he is 2-0 with a 0.82 ERA against the Astros. He has not faced them this season.McHugh equaled a season-high Monday when he gave up 10 hits against the Minnesota Twins in allowing three runs in seven innings. He walked one and struck out six in taking the loss.He has allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine of his past 10 starts during which he has a 4.03 ERA. He is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA this season in one start against the Blue Jays this season, allowing three runs in six innings on Aug. 3. He is 1-1 with a 3.20 ERA in four career starts against Toronto.Cody Barton Seahawks Jersey . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg.

Cody Barton Womens Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.Theyve finally won in every mainland state, now the GWS Giants are looking to complete their first season sweep at their second home.The second-placed Giants win over Port last weekend was their first in six AFL matches in SA.That was the final state to fall to GWS, who broke their duck in WA earlier in the year at their seventh attempt.The Giants host Richmond on Saturday in their third and final match of the season at Manuka Oval, their secondary home venue behind Sydneys Spotless Stadium.GWS have played three matches a year in Canberra since their inaugural season in 2012, but have never managed to win more than two.In 2016 in the nations capital, they have beaten Geelong by 13 points in round two and smashed Port Adelaide by 86 two weeks later.They are on track to register their second sellout crowd of the season in Canberra, following the Geelong game.The Giants average attendances this season across both their home grounds, where they have won seven out of eight, are up to 12,593, from 10,786 last year.I think bit by bit awareness down there in Canberra at our second home is just growing every day, every week, every month ,every year, Giantts coach Leon Cameron said.dddddddddddd.Another sellout this week just confirms that. We had one last year, were going to have two from three games this year. .We are really looking forward to getting down there, the atmosphere that it creates and playing some really good footy.Richmond have won all five of their games against the Giants, with West Coast, North Melbourne and Collingwood the only other teams GWS have yet to beat.The Giants play all those sides over the last five rounds, with the exception of Collingwood who beat them in Sydney earlier this month.Cameron is wary of a Tigers side he believes will be fired up by a calamitous last quarter performance last week against Hawthorn.He defended Tigers star Dustin Martin against some recent criticism, pointing to the fact the player had posted over 30 possessions in his last six games.He can play with us this weekend if hes getting that much ball, Ill take it any day of the week, Cameron quipped.I think hes playing-some really good footy. Hes had a terrific year.s
