      ernandez had two hits

      TORONTO -- The Houston Astros have a whole lot of rookies in the lineup right now. Daniel Sorensen Jersey .Two of them played a big part in Friday nights win at Toronto.Joe Musgrove pitched seven innings for his first major league win, Teoscar Hernandez homered for his first big league hit and the Astros beat the Blue Jays 5-3.Nine of the 25 players on Houstons current roster are rookies, tied with Oakland for most in the majors.Weve got a pretty young group now, manager A.J. Hinch said. This is fun to watch these guys come up and break in.Astros DH Evan Gattis had four hits, including two doubles. Hernandez had two hits and reached base three times while George Springer singled and walked three times.Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve had two RBI each as Houston extended its winning streak to four.Making his second career start, and facing the team that drafted him in 2011, Musgrove (1-0) allowed two runs and six hits.Its awesome, Musgrove said. Its definitely good to get that first one out of the way, get the nerves and stuff out of the way.The Blue Jays traded Musgrove to the Astros in July 2012, as part of a nine-player deal that sent left-hander J.A. Happ to Toronto.He used all four of his pitches, Hinch said. Seven strong innings is about as much as you could expect at his development curve right now.Hernandez found out Thursday that he was being selected from Triple-A, and was too excited to sleep before catching a 4:00 A.M. flight from Fresno. He finally arrived at Rogers Centre about an hour before the game, and didnt even have time to take any swings before his first at-bat, a walk. He homered in the sixth and singled in the eighth.Incredible day, a day that Im never going to forget, Hernandez said.Edwin Encarnacion hit his 300th home run and Michael Saunders hit his career-high 20th, but the Blue Jays lost for the first time in four meetings with the Astros.Good for Eddie, manager John Gibbons said. He puts himself in a different category with 300.Encarnacions 32nd home run tied him with Baltimores Mark Trumbo for the major league lead.Pat Neshek handled the eighth and Will Harris worked around Encarnacions homer in the ninth for his 12th save.Blue Jays left-hander Francisco Liriano (6-12) took the loss in his home debut with Toronto, allowing five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.I was behind in the count a lot so that didnt help, Liriano said through a translator.GURRIELS DEBUT DRAWS NEARCuban infielder Yulieski Gurriel, who signed a five-year, $47.5 million deal with Houston on July 16, is expected to make his major league debut against St. Louis on Tuesday. Gurriel defected in February after competing in the Caribbean World Series in the Dominican Republic. He entered play Friday batting .321 with one home run and nine RBI in eight games at three minor league levels.POWER TRIOToronto is the fifth team in the majors with at least three players with 20 homers (Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, Saunders). The others are Baltimore, Colorado, Detroit and Seattle. The Orioles have four 20-homer hitters.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: OF Colby Rasmus had surgery Wednesday to remove a cyst from his right ear. He is expected back by mid-September. ... OF Jake Marisnick (right groin) was not in the lineup for a second straight game. He is day-to-day. ... OF Preston Tucker (right shoulder) was placed on the 15-day DL. ... Houston activated RHP Luke Gregerson (left oblique) off the 15-day DL and put RHP Ken Giles on the paternity list.Blue Jays: OF Ezequiel Carrera (left Achilles) went 0 for 4 and struck out three times in a rehab game at Triple-A Buffalo. Carrera is expected to come off the DL on Tuesday.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Collin McHugh (7-9, 4.69) has lost his past three decisions. McHugh matched a season-worst by giving up 10 hits in an Aug. 8 start at Minnesota.Blue Jays: RHP Aaron Sanchez (11-2, 2.85) lost at Kansas City in his previous start, his first defeat since April 22 against Oakland. Manager John Gibbons confirmed Friday Sanchez will be skipped in the rotation over the next few weeks in an effort to limit his innings. Len Dawson Jersey . A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. Joe Montana Jersey . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Kansas-City-Chiefs-Elite-Jersey/ . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move.We continue round one of TSN.cas 2013 Play of the Year Showdown with a second, impressive POY entry from Pavel Datsyuk and a first from recent Leaf-killer, Nathan Horton. Will one of these two plays be impressive enough to take out the rest of the POY nominees? Datsyuk shows off not just his hands, but also his foot-skills in his second POY entry of the 2013 Showdown. It is Datsyuks creative use of his feet and incredible finishing skills, even while impeded by two defensemen that get his goal nominated, in true Datsyukian fashion. Hortons POY play is a very strong nomination. His quick thinking and even faster hands lets him dance past a flat-footed Hurricane defenseman, taking it strong to the net and putting the finishing touches on this truly POY-worthy goal. You can watch the highlights and make your decision here (http://poy.tsn.ca). Every vote counts so watch all the plays and take part in the TSN. Sammy Watkins Jersey. ca Play of the Year Showdown. Player facts: - Datsyuk has two Stanley Cup rings, four Lady Bing Memorial trophies and has the second-best plus/minus among active NHL players (behind a guy named Jaromir Jagr) - Horton has had a few injury-plagued seasons, but when hes healthy, he is productive. Horton led the 2009 Florida Panthers in assists and was second on the team in total points during the 2006, 2007 and 2009 regular seasons. Fun facts: - The Red Wings Hakan Andersson was likely the only NHL scout to see Datsyuk play prior to the 1998 entry draft, this thanks to a snowstorm that forced a scout from another team to abandon his trip, allowing Detroit to pick Datsyuk 171st overall - Nathan Horton is married to Tammy Plante, great-niece of former NHL goaltending legend Jacques Plante. She also happens to be a model. ' ' '
