Izturis' hit, Johnson fuel Jays to 6th straight win

Maicer Izturis hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays won their sixth consecutive game.

Blue Jays Win With Three Singles

The Blue Jays managed only three singles against the Rockies, but thanks to Maicer Izturis's two-run hit in the eighth inning they defeated Colorado, 2-0. It was the first time in more than a year that a major-league team won a regular-season game with three or fewer hits and no extra-base hits. That had last happened on June 13, 2012 when the Rangers edged the Diamondbacks, 1-0, while mustering just three singles. (During the 2012 postseason the Giants beat the Reds in a 10-inning game in which San Francisco had three hits, all singles.) The home team has won all 13 games between the Blue Jays and Rockies, who first played each other in 2002. That ties the longest current streak of games won by the home club in any matchup. Each of the last 13 games between the Braves and Brewers has been won by the hosting team.
