Astros blow late lead in 6-5 loss to Blue Jays

Chad Qualls surrendered Nolan Reimold's tiebreaking solo homer in the ninth, and the Astros went to a 6-5 loss Thursday night. The Astros also sent outfielder Austin Wates to the Marlins for third baseman Colin Moran, outfielder Jake Marisnick, right-hander Francis Martes and a 2015 compensatory draft pick. Aaron Sanchez (2-0) threw two scoreless innings for the win, and Casey Janssen pitched the ninth for his 18th save. Grossman and Marc Krauss each hit an RBI single off Drew Hutchison, and Jason Castro had an RBI double. Gregorio Petit's run-scoring groundout gave Houston a 5-4 lead in the sixth, but Bautista tied it again with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. First baseman Dan Johnson was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Either outfielder George Springer, who has been on the disabled list since July 20, or Dexter Fowler, who has been on the DL since June 27, could go on a rehab assignment during the next road trip, which starts Monday, Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said.
