On a Monday night in Houston, the Toronto Blue Jays quietly dismantled a six-game winning streak, reminding us that momentum in baseball is always borrowed, never owned. A timely home run, a pair of clutch singles, and a starter with something to prove were enough to hold back an Astros offense that generated chances but not results. In the larger rhythm of a long season, this was a game decided not by brilliance but by the older virtues — early execution, resilience on the mound, and the discipline to protect a lead.
