Jose Berrios delivered a quality start and the Blue Jays' three-run fifth inning held up as Toronto edged the visiting Houston Astros 3-2 on Thursday night.

Brandon Belt drove in Matt Chapman with a single for the go-ahead run against Houston starter Framber Valdez (6-5). The Blue Jays extended their winning streak to three games and have won nine of their last 11.

Yimi Garcia, Erik Swanson and Jordan Romano each worked a scoreless frame. Romano, from Markham, Ont., threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his 17th save.

Astros cleanup hitter Alex Bregman opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot, his ninth home run of the season.
