Houston dropped their second straight contest to the Toronto Blue Jays despite a game effort from number six starter Ronel Blanco. The Astros get their chance to take the season series with tonight’s series finale. That indicates deplorable fielding behind him, but it’s hard to discount his 1.695 WHIP playing a part as well. Right-handed pitcher Dave Mlicki (55) played for five major league clubs over a 10-season career, ending with Houston in 2001 and 2002. In 41 games, including 30 rotation appearances, he went 11-13 with a 5.21 ERA and a 5.33 FIP.
