Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah struggled mightily on Monday night, giving up six earned runs over just one-third of an inning as Toronto dropped an 11-4 decision to the visiting Houston Astros.

It was the ugliest start of a challenging campaign for the 2022 AL Cy Young Award finalist. Corey Julks delivered the big blow with his first career grand slam.

Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker had RBI singles as the Astros had seven hits against the right-hander. Alejandro Kirk put Toronto (33-28) on the board in the second inning with a solo shot off Houston starter Brandon Bielak (3-2).

Daulton Varsho added a solo shot in the eighth. Bo Bichette, Varsho and Kevin Kiermaier had two hits apiece for the Blue Jays.
